The Fiocchi 123ST153 Flyway delivers consistent waterfowl performance with precision-loaded 1-1/5 ounce payloads of #3 shot in 3-inch magnum hulls. These shells combine Italian manufacturing expertise with high-antimony shot for reliable knockdown power on ducks and geese at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Fiocchi's proprietary powder blend generates consistent velocities across temperature extremes, maintaining pattern integrity when other loads fail. The buffered shot charge reduces pellet deformation during acceleration, delivering tighter patterns than unbuffered alternatives. Premium wad design creates optimal gas sealing while protecting shot during barrel transit, resulting in 15-20% better pattern density at 40 yards compared to standard field loads.
Key Features
- 1-1/5 ounce payload of high-antimony #3 shot for maximum penetration
- 3-inch magnum hull provides increased powder capacity and velocity
- Buffered shot charge minimizes pellet deformation and flyers
- Temperature-stable powder maintains consistency in cold conditions
- Premium plastic wad system optimizes pattern performance
- Nickel-plated brass head prevents corrosion in wet environments
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
These shells excel in late-season waterfowl hunting when birds are warier and shots stretch beyond 35 yards. The #3 shot size strikes the optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, providing sufficient penetration on large mallards while maintaining adequate pattern density. The magnum loading pushes velocities to 1,210 fps, extending effective range while the buffered shot maintains killing power at distance.
