Description
Remington Nitro-Steel shotshells are built for waterfowlers who need reliable performance in the blind. Each 3-inch shell contains 1 ounce of zinc-plated #4 steel shot traveling at 1400 fps, giving you the velocity needed to anchor birds at distance without excessive recoil in a 20 gauge platform.
What Makes Remington Nitro-Steel 20 Gauge Shells Stand Out
The 100% round steel pellets deliver consistent patterns whether you're taking a close shot over decoys or stretching it out to 40 yards. The zinc plating prevents corrosion, so your shells maintain integrity through a full season of use. Remington's proprietary four-petal wad design protects your barrel while ensuring the shot charge stays organized downrange, resulting in denser patterns than standard loads.
Nitro-Steel's Versatility with Your Setup
These shells pattern well with both modified and full chokes, and they're fully compatible with aftermarket ported and wad-stripping choke tubes. That means if you've already invested in specialty chokes for your 20 gauge, this ammunition will work with what you've got. The 1 oz payload gives you the benefit of multiple pellets in a smaller gauge, which helps with pattern density on faster-moving ducks and teal.
Perfect for Medium-Sized Waterfowl
The #4 shot size is ideal for mallards, pintails, teal, and smaller geese. You get enough pellet count for margin of error without undershooting the job. Each box contains 25 rounds, so you get a practical amount for a day's hunting or to keep as backup loads in your truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size waterfowl is #4 shot in 20 gauge best for?
#4 shot works great for medium-sized waterfowl including mallards, teal, pintails, and smaller geese. The higher pellet count compared to larger shot sizes gives you more chances to connect, which matters when you're working a 20 gauge.
Can I use these Remington Nitro-Steel shells in my 20 gauge shotgun?
Yes, but your shotgun must be chambered for 3-inch shells. Check your barrel or owner's manual to confirm the maximum shell length your gun is rated for. These shells are also designed for shotguns rated to handle steel shot.
Will these shells work with my aftermarket chokes?
Yes. Remington Nitro-Steel shells are fully compatible with aftermarket ported and wad-stripping chokes, giving you flexibility to optimize your setup for different hunting situations and personal preferences.
How does the 1400 fps velocity affect my shooting?
The high velocity provides a flatter trajectory and better energy retention at distance, which is helpful when hunting fast-moving ducks or geese. This means less lead compensation compared to lower-velocity loads, making it easier to connect on birds at extended range.
