Fiocchi's Field Dynamics Upland Steel 12 Gauge ammunition is designed for upland game hunting. These 2-3/4" shells contain 1-1/8 oz of #6 steel shot and have a muzzle velocity of 1,400 fps. The steel shot makes them compliant with regulations in areas where lead shot is prohibited. This ammunition is suitable for hunting various upland birds such as pheasants and grouse. The high velocity helps maintain energy at longer ranges, which can be useful when birds flush at a distance. The #6 shot size offers a good balance between pattern density and hitting power for medium-sized upland birds.

Fiocchi Field Dynamics Upland Steel 12 Gauge FAQ:
The ideal range for Fiocchi Field Dynamics Upland Steel 12 Gauge 2 3/4" 1 1/8 oz #6 Shot is typically between 20 and 40 yards. This range allows for optimal pattern density and energy retention, making it effective for most upland hunting scenarios.
While primarily designed for upland game, this ammunition can be used for waterfowl hunting in a pinch. However, for dedicated waterfowl hunting, it's recommended to use loads specifically designed for that purpose, which often feature larger shot sizes and higher velocities.
The high velocity of 1,400 fps can result in increased felt recoil compared to standard velocity loads. However, the lighter 1 1/8 oz payload helps mitigate some of this effect, striking a balance between performance and shooter comfort.
Yes, this ammunition is fully compliant with non-toxic shot regulations. The steel shot construction makes it legal for use in areas where lead shot is prohibited.
While primarily designed for hunting, this ammunition can be used for target shooting. However, for regular clay target shooting, purpose-made target loads are often more economical and may produce less wear on clay target machines.
For upland hunting with this load, improved cylinder or modified chokes often work well. However, it's important to pattern your specific shotgun to determine the optimal choke for your needs.
The high velocity of 1,400 fps results in a flatter trajectory compared to slower steel loads. This can potentially extend the effective range and may require less lead on crossing targets.
No, this ammunition is not corrosive. Fiocchi uses non-corrosive primers in all their modern shotshell loads, ensuring that your shotgun doesn't require special cleaning procedures after use.
Yes, this ammunition can be effective in thick cover. The high velocity helps maintain energy through brush, although steel shot may not penetrate heavy cover as well as lead shot.
Fiocchi's quality control ensures reliable performance in various weather conditions. The ammunition is designed to resist moisture, but as with all shotshells, it's best to keep them dry until use.
