Remington HyperSonic Steel 20 Gauge FAQ:
The HyperSonic velocity of 1600 fps provides extended range, flatter trajectories, and increased energy transfer at the target. This can result in more effective and ethical harvests at longer distances.
While beginners can use this ammunition, the high velocity may produce more recoil than standard loads. It's generally better suited for experienced hunters who can take advantage of its performance characteristics.
The effective range can vary depending on the shooter's skill and the specific hunting scenario, but generally, it can be effective out to 50-60 yards for most waterfowl. Always practice to determine your personal effective range.
While it's suitable for most modern 20 gauge shotguns, the high pressure generated by the HyperSonic load may not be appropriate for older or lighter shotguns. Always check your shotgun's manual or consult with a gunsmith if unsure.
While it can be used for target practice, its higher cost and increased recoil make it less ideal for high-volume shooting sessions. Consider using less expensive loads for regular practice and saving these for hunting or occasional pattern testing.
The ideal choke can vary depending on your specific hunting scenario and personal preferences. Generally, improved cylinder or modified chokes work well with this ammunition for waterfowl hunting.
While it could be used for home defense in a pinch, this ammunition is specifically designed for hunting. For home defense, it's generally better to use ammunition specifically designed for that purpose.
It's not recommended to use steel shot in rifled barrels as it can cause damage. This ammunition is designed for use in shotguns with smooth bores.
While it's technically possible to reload the hulls, Remington does not recommend reloading any of their ammunition. Reloading high-performance shells like these requires specialized knowledge and equipment to do safely.
