Fiocchi 12S1187 Target Steel Target 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8 oz 7 Shot 25 Per Box/ 10 Cs

Fiocchi 12 gauge target steel ammunition gives you a practical, affordable option for clay shooting and range work where steel shot is required or preferred. This 2.75" load delivers 1 1/8 oz of #7 treated steel shot at 1200 fps—clean, consistent performance for breaking targets downrange without the environmental footprint of lead. Whether you're sighting in for waterfowl season, running drills at the clays course, or practicing in a steel-shot-only zone, Fiocchi's target steel rounds keep you in the game at a reasonable cost per round.

Fiocchi has been loading ammunition since 1876, and their steel shot selection reflects decades of ballistic refinement. The #7 shot size is versatile enough for standard target distances, and the treated steel construction resists deformation, feeding smoothly through semi-autos and pumps alike. This isn't match-grade precision ammo—it's honest, dependable target load that shoots where you point it and patterns cleanly.

Each box contains 25 rounds; a full case gives you 250 rounds (10 boxes), so you can stock up for serious practice sessions without repeated trips to reorder. For shooters who need steel but don't want to overpay for premium waterfowl loads, Fiocchi's 12 gauge target steel is a sensible middle ground: better than cheap, built to perform, and easy on the wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Fiocchi 12 gauge target steel work in my shotgun?

Yes, if your shotgun is rated for steel shot. Steel shot is harder than lead and requires a barrel designed to handle it. Check your gun's manual or markings; most modern shotguns rated for waterfowl (marked "Steel" or "Steel Shot") will cycle and shoot these rounds safely. If you're unsure, contact the manufacturer or a gunsmith before loading steel.

What's the difference between target and waterfowl steel loads?

Both use steel shot, but waterfowl loads typically carry heavier shot weights and higher velocities optimized for long-range bird hunting. Fiocchi's target steel is designed for practice, clay shooting, and range use where that extra energy isn't necessary—giving you the steel-shot advantage at a lower cost per round.

Can I use #7 shot for waterfowl hunting?

#7 is a smaller shot size traditionally used for upland and clay shooting. For waterfowl hunting, check your local regulations and consider larger shot sizes (like #4 or #6 steel). Many areas have minimum shot size requirements for ducks and geese. Always consult your local hunting regulations before choosing ammunition.

Why choose steel shot over lead?

Steel shot is mandatory in many waterfowl areas because lead ammunition can poison waterfowl and other wildlife through ingestion. Many public ranges and clay ranges now require steel-only shooting. Even where lead is legal, steel is a responsible environmental choice and is increasingly required by law in hunting areas and ranges.
