Remington Nitro-Steel 12 Gauge 3-inch #2 shot shells (Remington part no. 20798) give waterfowl hunters a high-velocity, nontoxic option built on Remington’s decades of shotshell experience. Remington loads Nitro-Steel with a full 1-1/4 ounce payload of steel shot driven at a brisk 1,450 feet per second, giving hunters extra reach and pattern energy over standard-velocity steel loads. The 3-inch magnum hull provides room for the heavier charge while keeping recoil manageable in a standard 12 gauge. This is a dependable, harder-hitting steel option for hunters covering decoy spreads and pass-shooting alike.
