Product Overview
Remington Nitro Steel is a 1 1/4 oz, 3-inch 12-gauge steel load made for waterfowl. At 1,450 fps it is the quicker of the two Nitro Steel loadings compared at this payload, with zinc-coated spherical steel #2 in the hull. Remington sits it under the 1 3/8 oz shell in the same 3-inch case.
The payload is about 156 pellets of #2. Free recoil is about 43 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun. A 3-inch chamber is the minimum for it, and the 2 3/4-inch Nitro Steel compared is the one that fits every 12-gauge.
If you're cross-shopping, the 1 3/8 oz Nitro Steel in this same hull holds about 16 more pellets at 1,300 fps for about 3 ft-lbs less recoil, heavier shot charge and all, because the speed comes off. HEVI-Steel at 1 1/8 oz goes to #4 instead, about 216 pellets at 1,500 fps.
- Steel gains more from speed than denser shot does, and this is the fastest 1 1/4 oz steel load compared
- Steel is one of the nontoxic materials federal waterfowl rules were written around
- 175 fps quicker than the 2 3/4-inch Nitro Steel compared on the same 1 1/4 oz of #2
- Steel pellets will not compress, so an older fixed-choke gun wants nothing tighter than Modified, or the choke can ring-bulge
- Remington gives no hull, wad or head detail for the line, where the Kent Fasteel 2.0 compared at least names precision-loaded wads
