Migra Waterfowl Steel Shot 12 Gauge 3-Inch 1-1/4 oz #1/#3 Shotshells, 25-Round Box

The Migra Waterfowl Steel Shot 12 Gauge 3-Inch shotshells (brand part no. M-12S1-3) load a combination payload of #1 and #3 steel shot for hunters who work timber holes, flooded fields, and big water alike. Migra Ammunition builds this load specifically for waterfowl seasons, where federal regulations require nontoxic shot and duck and goose hunters need pellets that still carry energy at extended range. The mixed #1/#3 combination puts larger pellets downrange for tough, late-season birds while keeping pattern density high enough for close incoming shots. Launched at 1430 fps from a 3-inch 12 gauge hull, this load gives waterfowlers one shell that covers both close decoying birds and the long crossing shot. For blind and boat hunters who do not want to swap loads mid-hunt, this combination shotshell is built to handle the whole spread.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12 gauge, the standard bore for waterfowl guns and steel shot payloads.
• The shell length is 3 inches, holding a magnum-class payload that takes full advantage of steel shot’s lighter density.
• The payload weighs 1-1/4 ounces, a heavy steel charge that keeps pellet count high despite steel weighing less than lead.
• The shot is a combination of #1 and #3 steel, pairing larger pellets for penetration on geese with smaller pellets for denser duck patterns.
• Steel shot construction makes the load nontoxic, meeting federal requirements for hunting waterfowl over public and migratory bird habitat.
• Muzzle velocity reaches 1430 fps, keeping the pattern moving fast enough to carry energy to birds working the far edge of the decoys.
• Each box holds 25 rounds, enough shells for a full morning shoot without reloading a pouch mid-hunt.
• The cost works out to about $1.08 per round, letting hunters stock up for the season without rationing shells.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this shot steel or lead? It is steel shot, which is nontoxic and required by federal law for hunting ducks, geese, and other migratory waterfowl.

Why a combination of #1 and #3 shot? The dual shot sizes give hunters denser patterns from the smaller #3 pellets and deeper penetration from the larger #1 pellets in the same shell, useful across changing shot distances.

What choke works best with this load? A 12 gauge choke built for steel shot, typically modified or improved-cylinder, generally patterns this 3-inch combination load well at common decoy and pass-shooting ranges.
