Q: Can this ammunition be used in all 20 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 20 gauge shotguns, it's important to note that it's a 3-inch shell. Therefore, it should only be used in 20 gauge shotguns with 3-inch chambers. Always check your shotgun's specifications to ensure it can safely handle 3-inch shells before using this ammunition.

Q: What makes the Fiocchi Flyway series stand out for waterfowl hunting?

A: The Fiocchi Flyway series stands out due to its combination of treated steel shot, protective wads, and matched powders. This combination delivers reliably dense patterns and confident terminal performance.

Q: Is this ammunition compliant with waterfowl hunting regulations?

A: Yes, this ammunition uses steel shot, which is non-toxic and compliant with waterfowl hunting regulations in areas where lead shot is prohibited. Always check your local hunting regulations to ensure compliance with specific area requirements.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to other 20 gauge loads?

A: Given its high velocity of 1500 fps, this ammunition may produce more recoil than standard 20 gauge loads. However, the lighter 0.875 oz payload (compared to 12 gauge loads) helps mitigate some of the recoil. Shooters should be prepared for moderate recoil, which is a trade-off for the ammunition's high performance.
