Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fiocchi Golden Steel legal for waterfowl hunting in the United States?
Yes. Steel shot is a federally approved non-toxic shot type required for migratory waterfowl hunting across the United States. Fiocchi Golden Steel meets all U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service non-toxic shot requirements, making it fully legal for duck, goose, and other migratory bird hunting on public and private lands where non-toxic shot is mandated.
What choke should I use with these 3" steel shot shells?
When shooting steel shot, it is important to use a choke rated for steel. Most manufacturers recommend an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke — no tighter than Modified — to prevent potential damage to the choke tube and barrel. Never fire steel shot through a Full choke unless it is specifically labeled and rated for steel shot use. Always consult your shotgun manufacturer's guidelines before shooting steel loads.
What is #4 steel shot best suited for, and how does it compare to other shot sizes?
#4 steel shot strikes an effective balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it a popular all-around choice for puddle ducks and medium-sized waterfowl at ranges up to approximately 40 yards. Compared to larger #2 or BB steel shot, #4 offers a denser pattern with more pellets on target; compared to smaller #6 steel, it retains more energy per pellet for cleaner, ethical kills on larger birds.
