Nobel Sport Steel Waterfowl Shotshells 12 ga 3" 1-1/4 oz 1450 fps #BB 250/ct Case
Nobel Sport Steel Waterfowl Shotshells deliver the precision and reliability you need when the ducks are working. Built in 12 gauge with 3" chambers, 1-1/4 oz steel shot loads at 1450 fps, these rounds are engineered to pattern cleanly and fly true on birds at distance. The #BB shot size is a proven choice for waterfowl where steel delivers the terminal performance required by law and common sense.
Nobel Sport ammunition is manufactured on the same production equipment and standards used for their target shotshells, meaning you're getting match-grade precision applied to hunting loads. Quality components throughout—from the plastic case to the wads to the primers—ensure consistent ballistics and reliable ignition in cold, wet conditions where waterfowl hunting happens. A 250-round case gives you the volume serious duck and goose hunters need without sacrificing per-round quality.
Whether you're working a timber hole or pass-shooting over open water, steel waterfowl loads demand consistency you can trust. Nobel Sport's approach treats hunting ammunition with the same rigor as competition shells, a philosophy that shows in the field. This is ammo built to make clean kills and earn your reputation as a responsible waterfowler.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these shells legal for waterfowl hunting?
Yes—steel shot is the legal requirement for waterfowl across the U.S. under federal regulation. Always verify your state and local season regulations before hunting.
What shotguns can I use these in?
These are 12 gauge 3" magnum loads. Your shotgun must have a chamber rated for 3" shells. Check your owner's manual or the barrel marking to confirm compatibility. Steel shot is harder than lead; ensure your barrel is steel-shot compatible if you're shooting older or vintage guns.
Why #BB shot instead of #2 or #4?
#BB steel shot retains energy at distance and is a popular choice for ducks and geese where you're taking longer passes. Shot size selection depends on your hunting situation and personal preference—talk to experienced hunters in your area about what performs best on the water you hunt.
How many rounds do I get per case?
This is a 250-round case, which offers solid volume for regular waterfowl hunters and helps keep per-round costs down when you're shooting enough to make inventory management worthwhile.
