Remington Nitro-Steel High Velocity 12 gauge shotgun ammunition is purpose-built for waterfowl hunters who demand reliable, hard-hitting performance in the field. These 2.75" shells pair a 1 1/4 oz steel shot payload with a 1275 fps muzzle velocity to deliver effective range and pattern consistency that serious duck and goose hunters have trusted for years. Steel shot is non-toxic and required by law in most waterfowl zones, making Nitro-Steel the go-to choice for regulated hunting.
What sets Nitro-Steel apart is the attention to ammunition design. The zinc-plated steel pellets are uniform round shot that flies straight and patterns reliably from close cover to longer distances. BB shot size is the choice for larger waterfowl and situations where you need penetration and energy at distance. The ammunition is fully compatible with both standard and aftermarket chokes, including ported and wad-stripping designs, giving you flexibility in how you set up your shotgun.
Each box contains 25 rounds, making it convenient to grab a couple boxes before a morning hunt or a weekend at the range. Remington's reputation for consistent, dependable ammunition backs every shell—you can focus on your shot, not whether your ammo will perform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size waterfowl is BB shot best for?
BB shot is ideal for larger waterfowl like geese and ducks at moderate to longer distances. The larger pellet size provides better penetration and energy retention downrange compared to smaller shot sizes.
Can I use Remington Nitro-Steel in any 12 gauge shotgun?
Nitro-Steel 2.75" shells are compatible with standard 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75" ammunition. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length and any choke restrictions before shooting. These shells work with standard, ported, and wad-stripping chokes.
Why is steel shot required for waterfowl hunting?
Steel shot is non-toxic and required by federal law and most state regulations for waterfowl hunting to protect waterbirds and ecosystems from lead contamination. Remington Nitro-Steel meets these legal requirements.
How many boxes do I need for a hunting season?
That depends on how often and how much you hunt. Each box contains 25 rounds, so plan accordingly based on your typical season activity and practice before hunting.
