The Remington R20740 Low Decibel ammunition delivers reduced noise output without sacrificing terminal performance in 410 gauge applications. This specialized load addresses the growing demand for quieter shooting experiences while maintaining effective shot patterns for small game and pest control.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Low Decibel technology reduces muzzle blast by approximately 17% compared to standard velocity loads through optimized powder formulation and charge weight. The subsonic velocity profile minimizes sonic crack while the #9 shot pellet count ensures adequate pattern density. This ammunition bridges the gap between standard hunting loads and specialized training rounds.
Key Features
- Reduced noise output - approximately 17% quieter than standard loads
- 2.5-inch hull length accommodates most 410 gauge firearms
- #9 shot provides dense pattern coverage for small targets
- Subsonic velocity reduces noise signature significantly
- Standard brass base construction ensures reliable extraction
- 25 rounds per box packaging for extended shooting sessions
- Compatible with all 410 gauge shotguns chambered for 2.5" or longer
Field performance demonstrates consistent cycling in both single-shot and semi-automatic platforms. The reduced recoil characteristics make this load suitable for youth shooters and noise-sensitive environments. Pattern testing shows effective coverage out to 25 yards for pest control applications, while the quieter report allows for use in suburban settings where noise ordinances may restrict standard ammunition.
