The Remington HyperSonic Steel 12 Gauge 3" #4 Steel Shot delivers the highest velocity waterfowl loads ever engineered by Remington, giving hunters a decisive edge at long range with tighter patterns and more consistent, ethical kills.
- Unprecedented 1,700 fps muzzle velocity reduces required lead by 8" at 40 yards
- 1-1/4 oz of #4 steel shot concentrates pellets in the head and neck zone
- 3-inch shell length maximizes powder charge and downrange pattern energy
- Proprietary wad technology locks velocity gains without altering your swing
- Steel shot density of 8 g/cc ensures deep, consistent penetration on ducks and geese
- 25 rounds per box — ideal for a full day of waterfowl hunting
Who This Is For
Remington HyperSonic Steel is built for serious waterfowl hunters who work flooded timber, open marsh, or late-season fields where birds are wary and shots stretch past 35 yards. If you're losing birds at the edge of your range or want a steel load that doesn't require you to rethink your lead, this is the round that closes the gap — without changing the way you shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Remington HyperSonic Steel safe to use in any 12-gauge shotgun?
HyperSonic Steel is loaded to high-pressure specs, so it requires a shotgun rated for steel shot — most modern 12-gauge field and waterfowl guns qualify. Always verify your barrel and choke are steel-shot approved before use. Avoid using tight (Full or Extra-Full) chokes not specifically rated for steel, as this can damage both the choke and barrel. A Modified or Improved Cylinder choke rated for steel is typically recommended with heavy 1-1/4 oz loads.
How does #4 steel shot compare to other sizes for duck hunting?
#4 steel is one of the most popular all-around waterfowl sizes, offering an excellent balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy. It performs reliably on mallards, teal, and similar-sized ducks out to 40+ yards, especially at HyperSonic velocities. For larger birds like Canada geese or for shots beyond 45 yards, stepping up to #2 or BB steel would be advisable. For smaller ducks at close range, #6 steel delivers a denser pattern.
Why does higher velocity matter for steel shot specifically?
Unlike lead, steel is less dense and transfers energy less efficiently at slower speeds. Higher velocity directly compensates for this by increasing kinetic energy at impact and flattening the shot trajectory, which reduces the lead required on crossing birds. Remington's 1,700 fps HyperSonic load cuts required lead by approximately 8 inches at 40 yards compared to standard steel loads — roughly one full duck body length — making it significantly more forgiving without requiring you to change your shooting form.
