In Stock: Fiocchi 34 Speed Steel 12 Gauge Steel Ammo

Description

In Stock: Fiocchi 34 Speed Steel 12 Gauge Steel Ammo is a high-performance, non-toxic hunting load designed for waterfowl and upland game hunters operating in steel-only zones. This 3-inch, 1-1/8 oz. load delivers a dense, consistent pattern downrange, making it a reliable choice for hunters who need dependable terminal performance under stress.

Key Features

• High-Velocity 34 Speed Steel Shot: The 1-1/8 oz. payload is driven at a true 1550 feet per second. This matters because the increased velocity flattens trajectory and provides the energy transfer required for clean, ethical takedowns on fast-moving waterfowl.
• Precision-Plated Steel Shot: Each pellet is copper-plated to reduce barrel friction and deformation. This matters for maintaining pellet integrity, which directly translates to tighter, more uniform patterns at extended ranges compared to unplated shot.
• Optimized Wad System: Fiocchi’s proprietary wad is engineered for this specific load. This matters because it creates a consistent gas seal and protects the shot column, ensuring repeatable ballistics and reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns.
• Non-Toxic Compliance: Manufactured with 100% steel shot. This matters for legal hunting in federally mandated non-toxic shot areas and for environmental stewardship.
• Reliable Ignition: Features clean-burning primers and propellants. This matters for consistent point-of-impact and reduced fouling, which is critical during long, wet hunting sessions.
