Remington Nitro Steel Duplex - 12ga - 3" - #2/#6 - 25 Rds/box
The Remington Nitro Steel Duplex 12-gauge shotshell brings an innovative dual-shot-size approach back to the duck blind, delivering lethal, consistent patterns at both close and extended ranges.
- Loaded with #2 and #6 steel shot for versatile near-and-far lethality
- 1,450 fps muzzle velocity for flat trajectories and hard-hitting downrange energy
- Super-tough four-petal shot cup protects your barrel from steel shot wear
- High-base, quality head construction ensures reliable ignition and consistent performance
- Drab hull finish reduces light reflection, keeping you concealed in the blind
- 3-inch shell capacity delivers a robust payload for waterfowl of all sizes
Who This Is For
The Remington Nitro Steel Duplex is built for dedicated waterfowl hunters who face birds at unpredictable distances — whether teal are working the decoys close or mallards are flaring at the edge of range. The duplex load eliminates the guesswork of choosing between a tight #6 pattern for close birds and a hard-hitting #2 load for distance, making it an ideal all-around shell for mixed-bag hunts and high-volume duck seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a duplex steel load over a single shot-size shell?
A duplex load combines two different shot sizes — in this case #2 and #6 — in a single shell. The smaller #6 pellets create a denser, more forgiving pattern for birds working close to the decoys, while the larger #2 pellets carry sufficient energy and momentum to reach and anchor birds at longer distances. The result is a more effective, all-range pattern without needing to switch shells mid-hunt.
Is the Remington Nitro Steel Duplex safe to shoot through my choke?
Because this shell is loaded with steel shot, it requires a choke rated for steel use. Remington recommends using an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke at most — never use a Full choke with steel shot, as it can damage your barrel and choke tube. Always verify your shotgun and choke are rated for steel shot before use.
What types of waterfowl is this load best suited for?
The Nitro Steel Duplex in #2/#6 is a strong all-around choice for puddle ducks and diving ducks, including mallards, pintails, and canvasbacks. The #2 shot provides enough energy for larger birds or longer shots, while the #6 component handles teal and smaller species at closer ranges. It is especially useful in mixed-bag hunting situations where bird species and distances vary throughout a session.
