Frequently Asked Questions
Is #4 steel shot a good choice for duck hunting?
#4 steel shot is one of the most popular sizes for duck hunting, offering an excellent balance of pellet count and energy retention at typical decoy ranges of 20–40 yards. It performs well on medium to large ducks such as mallards, pintails, and wigeon. For smaller birds like teal at close range, a smaller shot size may be preferred, while larger geese may call for #2 or BB steel.
Can I shoot these steel shotshells through any 12-gauge shotgun?
Steel shot requires a shotgun rated for steel shot use. Most modern 12-gauge shotguns are compatible, but you should verify your barrel and choke are approved for steel shot. It is generally recommended to use an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke — avoid Full chokes, as steel shot does not compress and can damage tighter constrictions. Always consult your firearm's owner's manual before using steel loads.
Why choose Fiocchi Flyway Steel over other steel waterfowl loads?
Fiocchi's Flyway line is engineered specifically for waterfowl hunting, pairing quality zinc-plated steel shot with optimized powder charges and protective wads for consistent patterns and reliable cycling. The 1,500 FPS velocity at 1-1/8 oz provides strong downrange performance without excessive recoil, making it a well-rounded option for hunters who want dependable results at a competitive price point compared to premium bismuth or tungsten alternatives.
