Remington Nitro-Steel High Velocity 12 Gauge 3" 1 3/8 oz #4 Shot - 25 Rounds/Box

The Remington Nitro-Steel High Velocity 12 Gauge 3" 1 3/8 oz #4 Shot is built for waterfowlers who demand reliable steel ammunition that patterns clean and hits hard at distance. Loaded with zinc-plated steel pellets and driven by Nitro Velocity optimization, this 25-round box delivers the kind of consistency and energy retention that separates successful hunts from frustrating misses. Whether you're working a marsh at sunrise or taking shots over open water, Nitro-Steel steel loads give you confidence in your pattern and your payload.

The secret is in the details: Remington's proprietary four-petal wad design protects your barrel while maintaining predictable performance across a wide range of choke tubes—including aftermarket ported and wad-stripping designs. The 100% round, hard-plated steel pellets fly straight and retain energy through the full effective range, giving you true close-to-long-range pattern performance without the surprises that come with lower-quality steel loads.

Steel ammunition isn't just a legal requirement for waterfowl in many areas—it's a performance choice when you pick the right load. Nitro-Steel proves that steel can be just as deadly as lead when engineered properly, making it the workhorse round for serious duck and goose hunters who refuse to compromise.

What is #4 steel shot best used for?

#4 steel is effective for waterfowl hunting, particularly ducks and geese at distances where pellet energy remains sufficient. Shot selection depends on your local regulations and the game you're pursuing, so check your local hunting rules.
