- Super-tough four-petal shot cup protects your barrel from steel shot damage
- High-base brass head ensures reliable ignition and consistent chamber pressure

Who This Is For
The Remington Nitro Steel Duplex is purpose-built for serious waterfowl hunters who work a variety of shooting scenarios — from decoying birds up close to wary ducks and geese at the edge of range. The duplex BB/#4 payload gives you the dense, close-range pattern of #4 shot while the larger BB pellets carry enough energy to anchor birds at distance, making this load ideal for hunters who don't want to compromise between pattern density and knockdown power. It is also fully compliant for use in non-toxic shot zones and safe for use through improved cylinder to modified choke tubes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a duplex load over a single shot-size shell?
A duplex load combines two different shot sizes in a single shell, giving you the best of both worlds. In the Nitro Steel Duplex, the #4 steel pellets create a dense, wide pattern ideal for birds in close range, while the larger BB pellets retain more energy and penetrate deeper at longer distances. The result is a more versatile load that performs well whether birds are decoying at 20 yards or flying out at 40+ yards.
Is this load safe to use in older or vintage shotgun barrels?
Steel shot is harder than lead and can cause damage to older fixed-choke barrels or those not rated for steel. The Remington Nitro Steel Duplex's four-petal shot cup helps protect modern barrels, but it is strongly recommended that you use only shotguns and choke tubes specifically rated for steel shot. Consult your firearm's manufacturer documentation before using any steel shot load in a vintage or fixed-choke shotgun.
Is Remington Nitro Steel Duplex approved for use in federally designated waterfowl hunting areas?
Yes. Steel shot is an approved non-toxic shot material as required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for hunting migratory waterfowl on federal lands and waterways. The Remington Nitro Steel Duplex is a steel shot load and meets non-toxic requirements. Always verify current local and state regulations before heading afield, as additional restrictions may apply in certain areas.
