The Fiocchi 123HV5 Field Dynamics delivers consistent high-velocity performance for upland game and waterfowl hunting. This 12-gauge 3-inch magnum load pushes 1-3/4 ounces of #5 shot at velocities that extend effective range while maintaining tight, uniform patterns.
What Makes This Different
Fiocchi's Field Dynamics line uses premium components and quality control standards that exceed typical field loads. The high-velocity formulation generates approximately 1,300 fps muzzle velocity compared to standard velocity loads at 1,200 fps. This translates to flatter trajectories, increased downrange energy, and improved performance on medium-sized game birds at extended distances.
Key Features
- 3-inch magnum shell with 1-3/4 ounce payload for maximum knockdown power
- #5 shot size optimized for pheasant, duck, and similar medium game
- High-velocity powder charge delivers consistent 1,300+ fps performance
- Premium plastic hull construction ensures reliable ejection and cycling
- Brass-plated steel head withstands magnum chamber pressures
- Star crimp closure maintains shot column integrity during flight
- Bulk packaging of 250 rounds (10 boxes) for volume shooters
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 50+ yards with modified and full chokes. The #5 shot provides sufficient pellet energy for clean kills on ducks, pheasant, and grouse while offering enough pellets per ounce for consistent hits. Weather-sealed primers and powder ensure reliable ignition in wet field conditions. The magnum load cycles reliably in semi-automatic shotguns designed for 3-inch shells.
