Remington Nitro-Steel High Velocity 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4 oz #4 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

Remington Nitro-Steel High Velocity 12 gauge ammunition delivers the dependable steel shot performance waterfowlers have trusted for decades, now engineered with higher velocity loads for extended effective range. This 2.75" shotshell carries 1 1/4 oz of #4 shot in a zinc-plated, hardened pellet design that maintains tight patterns from close quarters to longer distances. Built on a foundation of premium components, Nitro-Steel ammunition is the go-to choice when you need steel loads that cycle reliably and pattern consistently across a variety of shotgun setups and choke configurations.

The #4 shot size strikes a practical balance for waterfowl hunting, offering sufficient pellet count for pattern density while delivering the energy needed for confident kills. The high velocity load bumps muzzle speed compared to standard steel offerings, translating to flatter trajectories and tighter patterns downrange—especially valuable when ducks or geese are working the outer edges of comfortable range. Zinc-plated pellets resist deformation during the firing sequence, which means more uniform ballistics and more predictable results when you're calling birds into your spread.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making this a convenient size for practice, scouting trips, or replenishing your duck bag before the season opens. Remington's proprietary blend of components has earned its reputation through consistent field performance year after year. Whether you're shooting a vintage Wingmaster, a modern semi-auto, or an over-under, Nitro-Steel cycles cleanly and works with standard and aftermarket choke tubes, giving you flexibility in how you set up your gun for different water and bird scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Remington Nitro-Steel work in my semi-automatic shotgun?

Yes. Nitro-Steel is engineered with a proprietary component blend designed to cycle reliably across a wide range of shotgun actions, including semi-automatics, pumps, and break-actions. Steel shot does require a steel-compatible barrel, so confirm your shotgun is rated for steel before shooting.

Can I use these shells with ported or aftermarket chokes?

Yes. Remington Nitro-Steel is fully compatible with both standard chokes and aftermarket ported or wad-stripping choke tubes, giving you flexibility in how you pattern your gun.

Is #4 shot the right choice for waterfowl?

#4 shot is a popular and effective waterfowl load size, offering a good balance of pellet count for pattern density and energy delivery. Exact choice depends on your gun, range, and local regulations—check your waterfowl hunting regs to confirm allowable shot sizes in your area.

Why choose high-velocity steel loads?

High velocity loads deliver flatter trajectories and tighter patterns at longer ranges compared to standard steel ammunition, which can extend your effective shooting distance and improve your odds on ducks and geese working the edges of your decoy spread.
