The Fiocchi Golden Waterfowl 12 Gauge 3-Inch 1.25 oz #1 Shot (Fiocchi part no. 123SGW1) is a 3-inch 12 Gauge shell carrying 1.25 ounces of #1 shot, built for waterfowl hunting over decoys. Fiocchi tunes this steel loading for the velocity and pattern consistency duck and goose hunters want. Steel shot meets federal nontoxic requirements for waterfowl hunting while still carrying enough velocity to reach out over decoys. In shotgun shells, this is the load for the blind when legal shot and real knockdown power both matter.
