Fiocchi Ammo 12 Gauge - 3" Shell 1-1/4 oz. Bullet #BB Shot Steel - Fiocchi Golden Waterfowl - 25 Rounds
Lead-free shot is a must-have when hunting in wetland areas. These 12 gauge shells from Fiocchi fire a 1-1/4 oz. load of #BB steel pellets at a high muzzle velocity of 1,350 feet per second. They are optimized to produce dense patterning to down your targets and use a wad that helps protect your gun barrel when the shell is fired.
Steel shot is typically loaded to produce higher velocity than lead shot because steel is lighter than lead; all else being equal, it would be somewhat less effective for hunting purposes. A high-velocity load will deliver more energy to the target. For steel shot, this is an essential component of achieving a quick, clean kill.
Most Fiocchi ammunition sold in the US, particularly shotshells, is usually loaded at Fiocchi of American in Ozark, Missouri. Some also comes from the company's worldwide headquarters in Lecco, Italy to help satisfy high demand. No matter where they're made, Fiocchi ammo delivers quality and cost-effective shooting!

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells. — Craig Boddington
