The Remington Sportsman Steel 12 Gauge #2 Steel Shot (part no. R20904) loads 1-3/8 ounces of #2 steel shot in a 12 gauge hull, 3 inches long, built for hunters who need a compliant non-toxic option. Remington pushes a heavier steel payload in the Sportsman Steel MAX loading for hunters who want more pellets in the pattern. Steel shot gives this load the non-toxic payload waterfowl hunting requires by federal law. In shotgun shells for waterfowl hunters, this is a load built for exactly that job.
