| Magnum #5 |

At 70 yards, Our shot stringing and pattern testing show Pellet counts 50% higher than those reccommended as the minimum for effective pattern density. This performance is delivered with a recoil level 50% or more LOWER than any other shotload that "attempts" to compete.
Put this load on target and they will come down. |
