The Remington Nitro-Steel High Velocity 12-gauge delivers consistent knockdown power for waterfowl hunting with steel shot performance that matches lead ballistics. This premium ammunition combines Remington's proven powder technology with precision-formed steel pellets for reliable patterns and maximum effectiveness on ducks and geese at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Nitro-Steel technology bridges the performance gap between traditional lead and standard steel shot through advanced powder formulations and optimized wad design. The high-velocity loading pushes 1-1/4 ounces of #2 steel shot at speeds exceeding standard steel loads by 100+ fps. This translates to flatter trajectories, improved penetration, and cleaner kills on large waterfowl compared to conventional steel ammunition.
Key Features
- High-velocity steel shot loading for extended effective range
- 1-1/4 ounce payload of precision-formed #2 steel pellets
- 2.75-inch hull compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns
- Advanced wad design prevents barrel leading and improves patterns
- Non-toxic steel shot meets all federal waterfowl hunting regulations
- Consistent primer ignition in cold weather conditions
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field performance demonstrates tight, consistent patterns through modified and full chokes at ranges up to 50 yards. The #2 steel shot size provides optimal penetration on large ducks, Canada geese, and similar-sized game birds. Reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns eliminates feeding issues common with budget steel loads. Weather-sealed primers and crimps maintain reliability in wet marsh conditions throughout the hunting season.
