Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all types of waterfowl hunting?

Q: What makes the Fiocchi Flyway Steel ammunition environmentally friendly?

A: The Fiocchi Flyway Steel ammunition uses steel shot, which is non-toxic. This makes it compliant with waterfowl hunting regulations that prohibit the use of lead shot in wetland areas. The steel shot ensures that no harmful lead is introduced into the environment or ingested by wildlife.

Q: How does the 20 gauge version compare to 12 gauge loads for waterfowl hunting?
