Remington Ammunition Rem R20049 12 Gauge 3" 1-1/4 oz 2x4 Steel Shot 1450 FPS - 25 Rounds

The Remington Nitro Steel Duplex 12 gauge 3" shotgun ammunition pairs two shot sizes in a single shell—#2 and #4 steel pellets—to deliver effective patterns across the full range of duck and goose hunting situations. Load 1-1/4 oz of non-toxic steel at 1450 feet per second, and you're ready for close-cover work in thick timber or long-distance shots over open water. This duplex approach means you're not betting the whole payload on one shot size; the larger #2 pellets retain energy downrange while the smaller #4s pack density close in, giving you versatility without having to switch loads mid-hunt.

Built for the pace and unpredictability of waterfowl seasons, these shells use a quality cushioning wad designed to perform reliably across a variety of choke tubes—tight patterns or open bores, you'll get consistent performance. The drab hull and quality head construction keep glint and distraction minimal in the marsh. At 1450 FPS, you're running a solid magnum-class velocity that drives the steel payload home, whether you're working a slough in Louisiana, a prairie pothole in the Dakotas, or timber-lined creeks out West.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you can load up for a full day afield or keep a backup supply in the truck. If you're tired of choosing between #2 for range or #4 for pattern density, Nitro Steel Duplex lets you stop compromising. Just mount up and hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What waterfowl can I hunt with these shells?

These are designed for duck and goose hunting. The combination of #2 and #4 steel shot gives you the range and pattern versatility those species demand, and the shells are loaded with non-toxic steel to comply with federal waterfowl regulations.

Will these shells work in my older 12 gauge shotgun?

These are 3" shells, so you'll need a shotgun chambered for 3" (also called 3" magnum). Check your barrel markings to confirm. Using the wrong shell length can damage your firearm and create a safety hazard.

What's the advantage of duplex shot over a single size?

The #2 pellets carry energy well at distance, while the #4s create a denser pattern up close. In one load, you get the best of both worlds instead of having to switch between #2 and #4 shells depending on your hunting situation.
