Product Overview
Remington Nitro Steel is a 1 1/2 oz, 3 1/2-inch 12-gauge steel load made for waterfowl. Zinc-coated spherical steel #2 leaves at 1,500 fps. Steel pellets weigh about a third less than lead of the same diameter, so a charge of 1 1/2 oz takes the room the longest 12-gauge hull gives it.
A 1 1/2 oz charge of #2 is about 188 pellets. Free recoil is about 65 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, the hardest of any load compared. The shell needs a 3 1/2-inch chamber, which plenty of guns do not have.
If you're cross-shopping, Kent Fasteel 2.0 in the same 3 1/2-inch hull runs 1 3/8 oz of #2 50 fps faster with about 16 fewer pellets, for about 5 ft-lbs less recoil in the same gun. The 3-inch Nitro Steel at 1 3/8 oz runs 200 fps slower than this one and about 25 ft-lbs softer.
- The most shot of any load compared, in charge weight and in pellet count
- Nontoxic, the only kind of shot federal rules allow for waterfowl
- Zinc-coated spherical steel shot, Remington's description of what goes in the hull
- A gun lighter than 7.5 lb pushes that recoil figure higher still
- Steel pellets do not give in a choke, so an older fixed-choke gun wants nothing tighter than Modified
