Deep Dive

Overview

This 20 gauge ammunition is for waterfowl hunting. The #3 steel shot is for hunters targeting ducks and smaller geese where a balance of pattern density and pellet energy is required. It is for use with specialized choke systems that utilize high-velocity payloads to produce tight patterns. Hunters use these rounds for pattern integrity at 20 gauge effective ranges. The 1,400 fps velocity ensures #3 steel pellets carry sufficient momentum for results on fast-moving birds.
