This is the 3 inch version of Apex's Deer/Hog TSS load, trading the 3.5 inch magnum's payload for a shell that fits more guns and thumps the shooter less. Two ounces of BBB tungsten super shot is still an enormous amount of heavy metal in flight, with pellet energy in the class of large lead buckshot.It suits hog hunters running standard 3 inch chambers, drive style deer hunts where regulations allow, and anyone who wants a shell that patterns dense and hits hard from a compact gun. As with any specialty payload, spend a few shells on the pattern board before you hunt with it.
