Remington Ammunition 12 Gauge 3" 1 1/4 oz BBx4 1450 FPS - 25 Rounds

Remington's 12 gauge duplex shot load ammunition pairs two shot sizes in a single shell for versatile waterfowl hunting across varied distances. This 3-inch magnum load combines BB and #4 steel shot in a 1 1/4 oz payload, fired at 1450 FPS, giving you the pattern density of smaller shot at close range while the larger pellets deliver energy retention downrange. It's the kind of load that takes the guesswork out of distance estimation—let the shell do the work.

The duplex concept solves a real problem: waterfowl don't always cooperate with your yardage expectations. A traditional single-shot load forces you to choose between dense patterns at 25 yards or enough knock-down power at 45. Remington's two-shot blend handles both. The smaller #4 pellets pattern tight and create that deadly swarm effect close in, while the larger BB shot maintains velocity and penetration where it matters at longer presentations. Built on Remington's proven steel platform, these shells use a tough four-petal wad design that protects your barrel and patterns consistently across different choke tubes.

The hull itself isn't just functional—Remington uses a high-base, drab-colored design that reduces reflection in the blind and stands up to the rigors of a full day in the field. At 1450 FPS, you're running true magnum velocity, which means the payload arrives with authority. These come in boxes of 25 rounds, ready to fill your magazine and get you ready for opening morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the advantage of mixing BB and #4 shot in one load?

The two shot sizes work together to handle the full spectrum of waterfowl distances. The #4 shot creates a dense, lethal pattern at typical close-to-moderate ranges, while the BB pellets maintain energy and penetration at longer yardages where a single-shot load would lose effectiveness. You get the benefits of both without having to switch boxes mid-hunt.

Will these shells work in my standard 12 gauge waterfowl gun?

These are 3-inch shells designed for any 12 gauge shotgun rated for 3-inch magnum loads. Check your owner's manual to confirm your gun's rated length—most modern waterfowl guns handle 3-inch shells, but some older or specialized models may be limited to 2 3/4 inches.

Are these steel shot compliant for waterfowl hunting?

Yes, these are steel shot rounds. Steel is required for waterfowl hunting in the US and in most waterfowl-hunting jurisdictions. Always verify your local hunting regulations before heading afield.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 25 rounds of Remington 12 gauge 3-inch duplex ammunition loaded with BB and #4 steel shot.
