Description

These shells are purpose-built for waterfowl hunting where reliability and consistent patterns matter most. With 1-3/8 ounces of zinc-plated steel pellets running at 1300 fps, you get the velocity and payload to reach birds at distance without sacrificing pattern density. The 3-inch shell length gives you more pellets in the air compared to shorter loads, which means tighter patterns when you need them and better odds at extended ranges.

What Makes Nitro-Steel Stand Out

Remington engineered these shells with a greater hull capacity, which translates to heavier powder charges and the ability to handle larger steel pellets. The zinc plating on each pellet prevents corrosion, and the shells themselves are sealed at the primer and mouth for wetproof protection. You can trust these loads to fire reliably whether you're sitting in a blind or working through wet conditions where inferior ammunition would fail. The proprietary wad design is tough enough to function properly through aftermarket chokes that demand real durability.

Superior Steel Shot Performance

The #2 shot size strikes a solid balance for waterfowl. It delivers knockdown power on ducks and geese at ranges where smaller shot sizes start running out of steam, yet it still patterns tight enough for consistent results. Steel shot doesn't deform like lead does, which means your patterns stay controlled and predictable. These shells are compatible with modern shotgun designs and pair well with modified or improved-cylinder chokes that work best with steel loads.

Built for the Field

This is ammunition designed by people who know waterfowl hunting. Each box holds 25 rounds of consistent, dependable loads that won't let you down when birds are working. Whether you're dealing with early-season shallow-water hunting or late-season conditions, these shells deliver the performance waterfowlers have relied on for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Remington Nitro-Steel work in my shotgun with aftermarket chokes?

Yes, these shells are specifically designed to function with common aftermarket ported and wad-stripping chokes. However, always confirm your choke is rated for steel shot before shooting, as steel requires different choke designs than lead loads. Check your shotgun's manual if you're unsure about compatibility.

What's the effective range for the 3" #2 steel load?

These shells typically perform well out to 40-50 yards depending on your choke setup and shooting skills. The #2 shot size gives you good range compared to smaller shot, though pattern density will vary based on your specific gun and choke constriction. Patterning your gun at the distances you expect to shoot is the best way to know what you can reliably hit.

Can I reload these hulls?

Yes, the plastic hulls are designed to be reloadable. Just make sure to inspect all hulls for uniformity before you start loading to ensure consistent performance. Reloading is a smart way to reduce costs on practice rounds while dialing in your gun's pattern.

How does the zinc-plating help these shells?

Zinc plating protects the steel pellets from corrosion, which is critical when you're hunting in wet environments. The shells are also sealed at the primer and mouth to keep water out. This combination of features means the ammo stays reliable whether you're hunting in rain, snow, or sitting in a flooded blind.
