Fiocchi Dove and Quail Steel Ammunition 12 Gauge 2 3/4" #7 Non-Toxic Steel Shot

Fiocchi Dove and Quail Steel Ammunition in 12 gauge 2 3/4" #7 non-toxic steel shot delivers the clean, consistent performance you need for upland bird hunting without lead. Fiocchi's steel target load uses zinc-plated steel shot engineered for reliable ballistics, making it a practical choice for hunters working managed lands, public areas, or regions with steel-shot mandates. The powder blend is tuned for low recoil and consistent ignition, so you can focus on your birds instead of fighting the gun.

Whether you're hunting dove over a field, walking up quail in brush country, or practicing at the range with non-toxic rounds, this load offers the reliability Fiocchi is known for at a value that won't drain your budget. The corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel stands up to storage and transport, and the smaller #7 shot size is well-suited to the close-to-medium range encounters typical of upland birds.

If you're transitioning to steel for conservation reasons or legal compliance, Fiocchi Steel Target ammunition removes the guesswork—it's engineered from the ground up for steel, not simply a lead load with shot swapped out. Load a box and hunt with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this in any 12 gauge shotgun?

Yes. Fiocchi Dove and Quail Steel Ammunition is a standard 12 gauge 2 3/4" load compatible with any 12 gauge shotgun rated for 2 3/4" shells. Steel shot does not require a special gun—modern shotguns handle it without issue—but always check your barrel markings to confirm your gun is rated for the shell length.

Is this load legal for hunting dove and quail?

Many public lands and managed hunting areas require non-toxic shot for upland bird hunting. This load meets those requirements. Always check your state's hunting regulations and the specific rules of the area you plan to hunt before heading out.

How does #7 steel shot compare to lead for upland birds?

The #7 steel shot size is a popular upland choice because it delivers enough pellets for reliable patterns on small, fast birds at the typical ranges where dove and quail encounters happen. Steel is less dense than lead, so some hunters move up one shot size for similar energy, but #7 steel has become a proven standard for this application.

What's the recoil like?

Fiocchi's formula is designed for reduced recoil, making follow-up shots easier and less fatiguing during a full day afield. You'll feel less kick than standard loads while maintaining the ballistic performance the ammunition is engineered to deliver.
