Remington Nitro-Steel Duplex 12 Gauge shotshells offer superior performance for waterfowl hunting. These 3-inch shells are loaded with a 1 1/4 oz payload of blended #2 and #4 steel shot, providing deadly patterns at all ranges. The duplex load combines the dense patterns of smaller shot for close-range effectiveness with larger shot for maintaining energy at longer distances. With a high velocity of 1450 fps, these shells deliver maximum power and flat trajectories. The Remington wad features a tough four-petal shot cup that protects barrels and performs well across various choke designs. The ultra-capacity stealth hull with a high base quality head and drab coloration reduces reflection, making these shells ideal for serious waterfowl hunters.
