Frequently Asked Questions
What waterfowl is #2 steel shot best suited for?
#2 steel shot is one of the most versatile waterfowl loads available. It performs exceptionally well on medium to large ducks like mallards and pintails at typical decoy ranges (20–40 yards), and can be effective on smaller geese at moderate distances. Its balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy makes it a go-to choice for hunters who want one load that can handle a variety of species in a single outing.
Is this ammunition safe to use in my shotgun's choke?
Fiocchi Flyway Steel loads should only be used with choke tubes rated or approved for steel shot. Generally, Modified (M) or more open chokes — such as Improved Cylinder (IC) — are recommended for steel shot to prevent dangerous pressure buildup and barrel damage. Avoid using steel shot through Full or Extra-Full chokes unless the manufacturer explicitly rates them for steel. Always consult your shotgun's owner's manual before selecting a choke for steel shot loads.
How does Fiocchi Flyway Steel compare to other steel waterfowl loads?
Fiocchi has built its Flyway Steel line around quality Italian manufacturing standards, using treated steel shot, purpose-built wads, and consistent powder charges to deliver reliable patterning from box to box. The 1,500 fps velocity at 1-1/8 oz in a 3" hull is competitive with leading brands like Federal Speed-Shok and Winchester Xpert Steel, making Fiocchi an excellent value option for hunters who don't want to compromise on performance or reliability.
