Remington Nitro-Steel Duplex shotshells are designed for ultimate performance at all ranges. These 12 gauge, 3-inch shells are loaded with a blended high velocity magnum steel payload of 1 1/4 oz of #2 and #6 shot. This duplex load provides dense patterns with smaller shot for close-up targets while larger shot maintains energy at longer ranges. The shells feature a super tough four-petal shot cup that protects barrels and performs across a wide range of choke designs. With a muzzle velocity of 1450 fps, these shells deliver maximum velocity for true magnum-blended steel payloads. The ultra capacity stealth hull with high base quality head and drab coloration offers less reflection, making these shells ideal for waterfowl hunting.
