Overview
The Fiocchi Flyway Speed Steel 12 Gauge shotshell is engineered for the discerning waterfowl hunter targeting early season teal and other migratory birds. This ammunition integrates specialized components to provide reliable performance and effective terminal ballistics, ensuring consistent pattern density for decisive engagement.
Key Features
Optimized Steel Shot Payload
Each shell utilizes a 1 1/8 ounce charge of #4 treated steel shot. This specific shot size and material composition are selected to maximize energy transfer upon impact while mitigating deformation, resulting in superior pattern uniformity and penetration required for waterfowl.
Proprietary Wad System
Fiocchi employs a precisely designed protective wad system. This component serves a dual function: to shield the shotgun bore from steel shot contact, preserving barrel integrity, and to maintain the integrity of the shot column during its passage through the bore, thereby contributing to tighter, more predictable patterns downrange.
Engineered Propellant Charges
The propellant blend within Flyway Speed Steel loads is specifically formulated to achieve optimal velocity and pressure curves. This ensures consistent shot-to-shot performance, facilitating uniform pattern development and reliable cycling in semi-automatic platforms, without excessive recoil.
Application-Specific Design
These loads are meticulously calibrated for early-season waterfowl hunting conditions, particularly effective against agile birds such as teal. The component selection and load development prioritize the velocity and pattern density essential for engaging fast-moving targets at common ranges.
