Description
The Fiocchi Flyway Steel line gives you a waterfowl load that just works. Built with zinc-plated steel shot combined with protective wads and matched powders, these shells deliver the pattern density you need for consistent, ethical kills at typical hunting distances. For 20 gauge hunters, this is the kind of dependable ammo that lets you focus on the ducks instead of worrying about your shells.
Why the Flyway Steel Design Matters
Fiocchi engineered these shells with treated steel shot that patterns tight without being overly aggressive on your barrel. The 7/8 ounce payload at 1500 fps velocity puts you firmly in the sweet spot for decoying situations and moderate-range work. Number 2 shot gives you a solid middle ground between penetration and pattern density, making it a versatile choice across different waterfowl species and typical hunting scenarios.
Comfort and Control in the Field
The 20 gauge itself brings real advantages to the marsh. You get lighter felt recoil than 12 gauge loads, which means better shot placement and less fatigue during those long days waiting for birds to commit. These Fiocchi shells respect that advantage without making you compromise on terminal performance. Your pattern won't be as dense as a magnum 12 gauge will produce, but for birds over decoys in normal conditions, these shells deliver.
Packed in boxes of 25, the Flyway Steel line represents solid value in steel shot ammunition without cutting corners on quality or consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Fiocchi Flyway Steel suitable for goose hunting?
Yes, the #2 shot size and 1500 fps velocity work well for geese over decoys. Keep in mind that a 20 gauge won't reach out quite as far as a 12 gauge, so you'll get best results at typical decoy ranges. Many waterfowlers successfully use 20 gauge steel #2 loads specifically for goose hunting in normal conditions.
Can I use these shells in a gun that's only rated for 2 3/4 inch shells?
No, these are 3 inch shells and will not fit in a 2 3/4 inch chamber. Check your shotgun's marking to confirm it's rated for 3 inch shells before loading. Using the wrong shell length can damage your firearm.
Why does the recoil feel lighter than my 12 gauge loads?
The 20 gauge fires a lighter payload (7/8 ounce compared to typical 1 1/4 ounce 12 gauge loads), which naturally results in less felt recoil. This lighter recoil is one of the main reasons waterfowlers choose 20 gauge for extended hunting sessions.
Will these shells work in my semi-auto shotgun?
Most modern semi-auto shotguns handle steel shot without issue. Some older guns may have trouble cycling lighter steel loads. Check your manufacturer's recommendations and test a few shells at the range before committing to a full case.
