Remington Sportsman Hi-Speed Steel 12 Gauge ammunition offers dependable performance for waterfowl and upland hunting.

The sealed primer ensures reliability in adverse weather conditions, while the high-quality steel shot delivers exceptional pattern density and retained energy. This economical, high-speed steel load is ideal for short-range high-volume shooting during early duck seasons or over decoys, and works equally well in upland situations requiring non-toxic shotshells.
