Nobel Sport Steel Waterfowl Shotshells 12 ga 3" 1-1/4 oz 1450 fps #3 250/ct Case

Nobel Sport Steel Waterfowl shotshells deliver the performance and reliability serious duck and goose hunters demand when the birds are working. These 12-gauge 3-inch loads pack 1-1/4 ounces of hard shot at 1450 fps, engineered to penetrate and pattern cleanly at distance. Built on the same assembly lines and standards that produce NobleSport's competition target loads, these hunting rounds combine proven component quality with meticulous craftsmanship—no shortcuts, no soft shot, no excuses when it matters most.

The #3 shot size is a proven performer on waterfowl, delivering the balance of pattern density and pellet energy that separates clean kills from wounded birds. Whether you're setting up over a marsh, working a timber hole, or hunting coastal bays, these shells are loaded with the attention to detail you expect from ammunition that shares its DNA with world-class sporting clays rounds.

Each case contains 250 rounds, making this a practical choice for hunters who shoot regularly and won't compromise on quality. Hard shot construction and consistent velocity mean predictable ballistics from barrel to target—exactly what you need when opportunity is limited and every shot counts. If you've spent the morning scouting, the money on decoys, and the effort on the blind, your ammunition should match that commitment.
