PPU Stars & Stripes Steel 12 Gauge #3 Shot shotshells (part no. CS33203) load a versatile, mid-size steel pellet at a brisk 1500 fps, giving waterfowlers a genuine all-around option. PPU pairs the #3 pellet size with the magnum 3-inch 12-gauge hull, delivering a non-toxic payload that balances pattern density with per-pellet energy. It’s a straightforward, high-velocity steel load rather than a specialty premium shell. These shotgun shells suit waterfowl hunters who want one versatile load for ducks and geese alike.
