The Remington Nitro-Steel High Velocity 12 Gauge delivers maximum downrange energy for waterfowl hunters demanding consistent performance in challenging conditions. This premium steel shot ammunition combines advanced propellant technology with precision-manufactured steel pellets to achieve velocities that rival traditional lead loads while maintaining environmental compliance.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Nitro-Steel formulation generates higher velocities than standard steel loads through optimized powder charges and advanced wad design. The 1 3/8-ounce payload of BB shot delivers 25% more pellets on target compared to lighter loads, while the 3-inch magnum shell provides extended effective range. Steel shot construction ensures complete lead-free compliance for waterfowl hunting regulations nationwide.
Key Features
- High-velocity steel shot reaches 1,450 fps muzzle velocity for extended range
- 1 3/8-ounce BB shot payload delivers dense patterns at 40+ yards
- 3-inch magnum shell length maximizes powder capacity and performance
- Lead-free steel construction meets all federal waterfowl hunting requirements
- Precision-formed steel pellets maintain spherical shape for consistent ballistics
- Advanced wad design protects barrel and improves pattern density
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates consistent 30-inch patterns at 40 yards through modified chokes, with adequate penetration for large ducks and geese. The high-velocity load maintains lethal energy beyond 50 yards, making it effective for pass shooting and long-range waterfowl hunting. Weather-resistant brass cases and sealed primers ensure reliable ignition in wet conditions typical of waterfowl environments.
