Fiocchi Arkansas Steel Waterfowl Shotshells 12ga 3" 1-1/5oz 1550 fps #2 100/ct
Fiocchi Arkansas Steel waterfowl shotshells are 12-gauge 3-inch loads built for the demands of duck and goose season. Loaded with 1-1/5 ounces of #2 steel shot at 1550 fps, they deliver the pattern density and velocity needed for effective waterfowl hunting in flooded timber, marsh blinds, and open water. Whether you're working a morning flight or grinding through an afternoon session, these shells are engineered to cycle reliably and perform when limits are on the line.
Steel shot ammunition requires proper gun selection—modern waterfowl guns are typically designed to handle steel loads safely—so verify your shotgun's compatibility before ordering. The 100-count case pack makes it easy to keep your blind stocked without constant restocking runs. Fiocchi's reputation for consistent quality control means you can focus on your shot placement, not worrying about misfires or erratic patterns.
These are purpose-built waterfowl rounds, not general-purpose steel loads. The combination of shot size, payload, and velocity is optimized for the distance and energy requirements of duck and goose hunting. If you're running a modern 12-gauge with steel-shot capability, Arkansas Steel rounds deliver the ballistics and reliability serious waterfowl hunters depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shotguns can shoot these waterfowl shells?
Fiocchi Arkansas Steel shotshells are steel loads designed for modern 12-gauge shotguns rated for steel ammunition. Many modern waterfowl guns accept 3-inch magnum steel loads; always verify your shotgun's documentation or consult the manufacturer to confirm steel-shot compatibility before use.
Why #2 steel instead of other shot sizes?
#2 steel shot is a standard waterfowl load optimized for the distance and energy needed to effectively hunt ducks and geese. It balances pattern density with knockdown energy for reliable kills at typical waterfowl hunting ranges.
How many boxes come in a case?
The 100-count case contains four 25-round boxes, organized in a field carton designed for convenient carry and storage at your blind or boat.
Do I need to use special chokes with steel shot?
Many modern shotguns are designed to handle steel loads safely with standard chokes, but some older guns or specific choke designs may have restrictions. Always check your shotgun manufacturer's guidance on steel shot compatibility and any choke recommendations.
