Apex Ammunition’s Waterfowl S3 Steel line in 12 gauge (brand part no. S312-BB) loads a 3-inch shell with 1-1/4 ounces of #BB steel shot, built for hunters targeting geese and other large-bodied waterfowl that demand more per-pellet energy than a smaller shot size delivers. Apex Ammunition engineers the S3 line specifically around steel shot ballistics, and the large #BB pellet trades some pattern density for the added mass and penetration big geese require at range. For 12 gauge hunters chasing Canada geese or other large waterfowl, these shotgun shells are sized for the target.
