Your Questions Answered
Is this ammo suitable for all 12-gauge shotguns?
This ammunition is designed for 2-3/4″ chambers and is safe for use in modern shotguns rated for steel shot. Always consult your firearm’s manual. Our staff notes that with a new shotgun or one not used to steel loads, they recommend breaking in with 50 rounds before relying on it for a full season or carry.
What is the effective range for waterfowl with this load?
The #4 steel shot at 1550 fps is effective for ducks and smaller geese at typical waterfowl hunting ranges of 25 to 45 yards. Pattern density remains good within this envelope, providing clean, ethical harvests.
How does this compare to lead shot for hunting?
Steel is less dense than lead, so it loses velocity and energy faster. To compensate, Fiocchi uses a higher velocity and a slightly larger shot size (#4 steel is similar in diameter to #6 lead). The primary advantage is compliance with federal non-toxic shot mandates for waterfowl hunting.
