Description
Fiocchi built the Flyway series specifically for waterfowl hunters who need steel shot that works. Each shell loads 1-1/5 ounces of plated steel shot paired with protective wads and powders engineered to keep your patterns tight without beating up your gun's internals. At 1550 fps, you get the velocity to carry energy downrange and the consistency that comes from Fiocchi's quality control.
What Makes Fiocchi Flyway Stand Out for Steel Shot
These aren't stripped-down budget rounds. The treated steel pellets resist corrosion so you maintain pattern density even when hunting around water and wetlands. The combination of that coating with carefully matched powders means you can expect the kind of shot placement reliability that separates good hunting days from frustrating ones. Field tests show these patterns efficiently through modified and full chokes, giving you the confidence you need whether you're working ducks over decoys or taking longer shots at passing geese.
Built for Decoy Work and Pass Shooting
The 1-1/5 ounce payload is the sweet spot for most waterfowl hunting. It gives you enough pellets for a dense pattern without the excessive recoil of heavier magnum loads. Number 2 shot is the standard choice for mixed waterfowl hunting, offering solid terminal performance on both mallards and geese from the blind or when they're on the move.
Each box contains 25 rounds, so you can pattern your gun, test different chokes, and still have shells ready for opening day. Fiocchi's reputation comes from doing the small details right, and these shells reflect that approach to manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between #2 and #3 steel shot for ducks?
Number 2 steel shot delivers better range and knockdown power on larger ducks and geese, making it the go-to choice for mixed waterfowl hunting. Number 3 is tighter patterning and better for smaller ducks over decoys where most shots stay close. Many hunters use #2 when targeting mallards specifically or when they expect longer shots.
Will these Fiocchi Flyway shells pattern well in my gun?
Fiocchi matched these shells with consistent powders and protective wads to deliver reliable patterns through standard waterfowl chokes. The treated shot pellets maintain their shape better than uncoated steel, which helps pattern density. You should always pattern your specific gun and choke combination before the season, but these shells are engineered for tight, dependable results.
Are these shells safe for older shotguns?
These 3-inch shells are safe in any shotgun that's chambered for 3-inch ammunition. The protective wads are designed specifically to prevent steel shot from making direct contact with your barrel, protecting the bore. If your gun is only marked for 2-3/4 inch shells, you'll need to stick with shorter ammunition.
Why are the pellets treated or plated?
The zinc plating on Fiocchi's steel shot resists corrosion from the moisture and salt found in waterfowl hunting environments. Treated pellets stay smooth and aerodynamic longer, which directly impacts pattern consistency. Uncoated steel can develop surface rust that degrades performance, especially over a long season.
