250rds – 12 Gauge Estate Heavy Game Load 2-3/4" 1-1/4oz. #8 Shot Ammo Details

God made birds on the fourth day, but waited to make man until the sixth day. We like to think this is because He wanted to give the birds a head start!

This Heavy Game Load 12 Gauge ammunition by Estate Cartridge of Minnesota will give you everything you need to get out there and start landing all kinds of upland game. Estate uses extra hard lead to cast their #8 shot pellets. That makes them naturally resistant to deformation during ignition and penetration, which in turn promotes tighter patterns and deeper wound channels.

This round’s 1-1/4 ounce column of shot is a little heavier than usual. More shot equals even denser patterns! At 1,220 fps this shell’s muzzle velocity isn’t so hot that you should expect to endure heavy recoil, but it’s also going to treat you to a flat trajectory, short lead time and plenty of deadly downrange energy.

Estate’s strong plastic tubes and brass-plated heads make their hulls a fine choice for handloading. Their non-corrosive primers won’t rust out your shotgun, and their low-fouling powder won’t needlessly dirty it up, either!
