$77.00
Fiocchi Arkansas Steel Waterfowl Shotshells deliver dependable 12-gauge ammunition purpose-built for duck and goose hunting in tough conditions. Each 3-inch shell holds 1⅖ ounces of #3 steel shot, traveling downrange at 1550 fps—a velocity and payload combination that balances pattern density with effective range for waterfowl work. Whether you're hunting flooded timber, creek blinds, or open water, these shells are designed to cycle reliably through your shotgun and put birds in your strap when the moment counts.
Arkansas Steel shells come packed 100 per carton in a field-ready format. That's two full boxes of 50 rounds in a carrying case built to handle the mud, water, and wear of a season afield. You get the capacity to hunt hard without constant restocking runs, and the durability to keep your ammo protected whether you're scouting pre-season ponds or working the main event during migration.
For waterfowl hunters who value consistency and packability, Fiocchi's Arkansas Steel line removes the guesswork. Steel shot requires dedicated ammunition—these shells are loaded specifically for that purpose. If you're running a shotgun proofed for steel and you're serious about finishing your limit, this is honest, no-frills ammo that does what it's supposed to do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Fiocchi Arkansas Steel shells work in my shotgun?
These are 3-inch 12-gauge shells, so they'll chamber in any 12-gauge shotgun rated for 3-inch magnum ammunition. Steel shot requires a shotgun proofed for steel—check your barrel marking if you're unsure. Never use steel shot in barrels marked for lead only.
What's the effective range for #3 steel on ducks and geese?
The 1⅖ ounce payload of #3 steel at 1550 fps is sized and driven for standard waterfowl hunting ranges. Shot size and velocity matter more than we can detail here; your shotgun's choke, your shooting skill, and distance all affect what you harvest. Talk to experienced local waterfowl hunters about what ranges they trust #3 for on your target species.
How many boxes are in the 100-round carton?
The 100-round carton contains two boxes of 50 rounds each, packaged with a carry handle for field transport.
Are these shells reloadable?
