Nobel Sport Steel Waterfowl Shotshells 12 ga 3" 1-1/4 oz 1450 fps #4 250/ct Case
Nobel Sport Steel Waterfowl shotshells in 12 gauge 3" deliver the reliability and pattern consistency you need for duck and goose season. Built on the same precision machinery and quality standards as Nobel Sport's competition target loads, these steel shot rounds pair high-antimony hard shot with purpose-engineered wads to pattern cleanly and hit hard at distance. At 1450 fps with a 1-1/4 oz payload in #4 shot, they're built to handle the demands of serious waterfowl hunting without compromise.
What sets Nobel Sport apart is their refusal to cut corners where it counts. While cheaper manufacturers skimp on shot hardness or powder grade to protect their margin, Nobel Sport uses the same 21st-century components and craftsmanship across their entire line—whether you're running target loads or hunting rounds. That consistency matters when you're calling birds into range and need to deliver clean, reliable patterns shot after shot.
The 250-count case format makes bulk loading practical for serious waterfowl hunters who put in the volume during season. Whether you're hunting over decoys in timber, on open water, or working prairie ponds, you get the same premium construction and quality control in every shell. This is ammunition built by people who understand that hunting opportunities don't come cheap—your loads shouldn't either.
