What Buyers Ask
What is the effective range of this shotshell?
This round is designed for very close-range work, typically under 15 feet. The shot pattern spreads quickly, making it ideal for pests like snakes or rodents at point-blank to a few yards.
Will this cycle in my lever-action rifle?
No. This ammunition is specifically designed for use in .45 Colt revolvers. The shot capsule and lower pressure may not reliably cycle the action of a lever-action rifle and is not recommended.
Is this good for self-defense against people?
This is not a recommended personal defense load. It is a specialized pest control round. For defense against human threats, use standard jacketed hollow point or soft point ammunition.
