Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What are the key features of the Remington Nitro-Steel High Velocity 12 Gauge ammunition?

A: This Remington Nitro-Steel High Velocity ammunition is a 12 gauge, 3-inch shell loaded with 1 1/4 oz of #3 steel shot. It has a muzzle velocity of 1450 fps, making it a high-velocity load. The ammunition comes in boxes of 25 rounds, with 10 boxes per case.

Q: What is the intended use for this ammunition?

A: This ammunition is primarily designed for waterfowl hunting. The high velocity and #3 steel shot make it effective for hunting ducks and geese at longer ranges. It can also be used for other hunting applications where steel shot is required or preferred.

Q: Is this ammunition compatible with all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns, it's important to note that it's a 3-inch magnum load. It should only be used in shotguns specifically chambered for 3-inch shells. Using it in a shotgun not rated for 3-inch shells could be dangerous and damage your firearm.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to standard loads?

A: Due to its high velocity (1450 fps) and heavy payload (1 1/4 oz), this ammunition will produce more recoil than standard loads. Shooters should be prepared for significant felt recoil, especially during extended shooting sessions.

Q: What makes this ammunition 'high velocity'?

A: This ammunition is considered high velocity because of its muzzle speed of 1450 fps (feet per second). This higher velocity contributes to flatter trajectories and potentially increased effective range compared to standard velocity loads.

Q: Is this ammunition considered non-toxic?

A: Yes, this ammunition uses steel shot, which is considered non-toxic. This makes it compliant with regulations requiring non-toxic shot for waterfowl hunting and in areas where lead shot is prohibited.
