Remington HyperSonic Steel 12GA 3" BB Shot 1700 FPS
Premium steel shotshells delivering 1700 fps velocity with 1-1/4 oz BB shot in 3" 12-gauge loads. Advanced wad technology reduces required lead and maximizes pattern energy for effective waterfowl hunting.
Remington HyperSonic Steel Shotshells
Remington HyperSonic Steel represents a significant advancement in waterfowl ammunition design, combining velocity with pattern performance to deliver results at extended ranges.
Key Features
- Velocity: 1700 fps—among the highest velocities available in steel shot ammunition
- Shot Charge: 1-1/4 oz of BB steel shot per round
- Gauge/Length: 12-gauge, 3-inch magnum shells
- Rounds per Box: 25 rounds
- Advanced Wad Technology: Engineered to maintain pattern integrity and energy downrange
Performance Advantages
The exceptional velocity of HyperSonic Steel delivers measurable benefits in the field:
- Reduced Lead Requirements: The high velocity compensates for shooter error, reducing the required lead by approximately 8 inches at 40 yards—roughly one full body length on a duck flying at average speed
- Improved Pattern Energy: Maintains downrange energy better than conventional loads, resulting in more effective kills at distance
- Head and Neck Placement: The combination of velocity and pattern density concentrates shot in vital areas, reducing crippling losses
Practical Application
These shells are particularly effective for waterfowl hunters who take longer shots or hunt over decoys where birds approach from various angles. The reduced lead requirement means fewer misses from behind—a common occurrence in duck hunting. More birds drop cleanly with fewer shots, extending your effective range without requiring changes to your shooting technique.
HyperSonic Steel ammunition represents Remington's commitment to terminal performance and hunter success in the field.
