Who This Is For
Remington HyperSonic Steel is built for serious waterfowl hunters who work big water, open fields, or high-flying birds where extra yards matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What waterfowl is #4 steel shot best suited for?
#4 steel shot is an excellent all-around choice for ducks — particularly medium to large species like mallards, pintails, and teal — at ranges out to 40+ yards. It delivers enough pellet energy and pattern density to reliably reach the head and neck for clean kills. For large geese at longer distances, you may want to consider stepping up to #2 or BB steel shot.
Will Remington HyperSonic Steel pattern well in my waterfowl choke?
Yes — HyperSonic Steel is designed to be used with chokes rated for steel shot. Remington recommends using no tighter than a Modified choke with steel loads. Using an Improved Modified or Full choke not rated for steel can damage your barrel or choke tube. Always verify your choke is steel-shot-approved before shooting these high-velocity loads.
Is this ammunition legal for waterfowl hunting — does it meet non-toxic shot requirements?
Yes. Steel shot is federally approved for waterfowl hunting in the United States and meets all non-toxic shot requirements mandated by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Remington HyperSonic Steel contains no lead, making it fully compliant for hunting ducks and geese on both public and private waters. Always check your specific state and local regulations for any additional restrictions in your hunting area.
