Apex designed these shells to prove that steel doesn't have to compromise on pattern quality or terminal performance. The S3 Steel load pairs premium zinc-plated pellets with an internal wad system borrowed from Apex's renowned Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) design, delivering the kind of pattern density and knockdown power that used to be reserved for premium shotshells only.
The one-piece wad system is the key. Rather than using traditional column designs that let pellets shift and scatter, Apex engineered their internal geometry to keep shot bunched tight all the way to the target. The plating on the steel pellets keeps them round and corrosion-resistant, which matters if you're hunting in wet conditions where bare steel can get roughed up between the powder charge and the barrel.
You're getting 1 ounce of #3 steel at 1250 fps. That's a solid middle ground in the steel world. Number 3 shot carries enough energy for ducks and geese out to reasonable hunting distances while maintaining a tighter pattern than larger pellets. At typical waterfowl ranges, this load puts birds down reliably without the excessive pellet deformation you sometimes see with bottom-tier steel ammo. If you want your patterns to print densely downrange instead of spreading wide, this is where that engineered wad system actually makes a difference you'll see on your patterning board.
Each shell comes in Apex's standard packaging with 25 rounds per box. The construction is sturdy enough to handle marsh hunting where shells get tossed in boats, sat on, and exposed to moisture. This ammunition meets non-toxic shot requirements wherever steel is mandated.
The Apex S3 design uses a proprietary one-piece wad system engineered to keep pellets bunched tighter than conventional steel loads. Combined with premium plated pellets, you get denser patterns at typical waterfowl ranges without the spread you see from cheaper steel ammo. This matters when you're trying to anchor birds at 30-45 yards.
Yes, as long as your shotgun is chambered for 3-inch shells. These are standard 20 gauge ammunition. Always check your shotgun's chamber specifications before shooting any ammunition, and use whatever choke constriction your gun patterns best with.
Yes. These S3 Steel shells are lead-free and meet all non-toxic shot requirements for waterfowl hunting where steel shot is mandated.
These are #3 steel, which is a versatile mid-range pellet size for waterfowl. It works well on ducks and geese at moderate ranges where you need a balance between pattern density and individual pellet energy. Pattern your specific gun to see where it shoots best for your hunting situation.
