Remington Ammunition 26743 HyperSonic Steel Waterfowl 12 Gauge 3" 1 1/8 oz 2 Shot 25 Per Box/ 10 Cs
Remington HyperSonic Steel Waterfowl ammunition for 12 gauge shotguns delivers the velocity edge that makes a real difference in the marsh. These 3-inch shells load 1 1/8 oz of #2 steel shot and clock out at 1700 fps—fast enough to meaningfully tighten your lead window on crossing ducks and geese. The idea is straightforward: higher velocity means flatter trajectories and denser downrange patterns, so you're putting more pellets on target where it counts.
Built with Remington's wad technology, HyperSonic Steel is engineered to maintain pattern integrity and energy at distance. Whether you're working a decoy spread over open water or passing shots at the limits of your effective range, the combination of velocity and pellet density keeps lethal force where you need it most—in the vitals. This is steel load ammunition built for serious waterfowlers who demand consistency and reliable performance when birds are working.
Each box contains 25 rounds, and the bulk 10-box case format lets you stock up for the season without frequent restocking runs. If you're shooting steel shot in 12 gauge and want the velocity advantage without changing your technique, HyperSonic Steel is worth running through your gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
What choke and shotgun should I use with HyperSonic Steel waterfowl loads?
HyperSonic Steel is a standard 12 gauge 3-inch magnum steel load, so it will function in any 12 gauge shotgun rated for 3-inch shells and steel shot. Check your gun's manual to confirm steel shot compatibility. Use steel-compatible chokes (most modern waterfowl guns come with them). The specific choke choice depends on your desired pattern density and range preferences.
Is this ammunition legal for waterfowl hunting?
Steel shot is the federal requirement for waterfowl hunting in the United States, so yes—HyperSonic Steel meets that mandate. Always confirm your state's current waterfowl season regulations and any additional local restrictions before heading afield.
What's the difference between #2 shot and other steel shot sizes?
#2 steel shot is a proven choice for ducks and geese across a range of hunting scenarios. Shot size selection depends on your target species, typical hunting ranges, and personal preference. #2 is popular because it balances pellet count, energy retention, and effective distance.
How many rounds come in a case, and what's the packaging?
Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds each (250 rounds total). This bulk format is convenient for waterfowl hunters who want to keep ammunition on hand throughout the season without frequent reordering.
