Description
The Fiocchi 34 Speed Steel 12 Gauge Steel Ammo is a high-performance, non-toxic waterfowl load designed for hunters who demand consistent patterns and reliable terminal performance downrange. Built on Fiocchi’s proven hull with a 34-gram steel payload, this ammunition delivers the velocity and energy transfer required for clean, ethical harvests under stress. At $169.16 per case, it represents a solid investment for serious waterfowlers prioritizing shot-to-shot consistency.
Key Features
- High-Velocity Steel Load: The 34-gram (1 1/5 oz) payload is driven at high speed for a flatter trajectory and improved downrange energy, which matters for extending your effective range on ducks and geese.
- Fiocchi’s Proprietary Hull Design: Engineered for smooth, reliable feeding and consistent pressure curves. This matters for function in semi-autos and pumps, especially in cold, wet conditions.
- Plastic Wad Column: Protects barrel bores from steel shot and helps maintain a tight shot column for denser patterns. This matters for putting more pellets on target.
- Non-Toxic Compliance: Steel shot is mandated for waterfowl hunting across North America. This load ensures you’re legal and effective in the field.
- Reliable Primer and Propellant: Fiocchi uses quality components for consistent ignition, a critical factor when every shot in the blind is mission-critical.
