The Fiocchi Field Dynamics Dove & Quail 12-Gauge 2-3/4" #7 Steel load is a premium, non-toxic upland hunting shell engineered specifically for regulated fields and public hunting zones where lead shot is completely banned. The major headache with hunting with steel is that it is lighter and harder than traditional lead, which often leads to thin, patchy patterns and lower downrange energy. Fiocchi eliminates this hunting bottleneck by utilizing specialized zinc-plated steel pellets and a custom wad system, giving you dense, lethal coverage on fast-moving game while staying 100% compliant with local environmental laws.
The technical advantage centers on material science and strict internal ballistics control. Because raw steel shot can cause heavy barrel friction and wide, erratic patterns, Fiocchi coats each #7 pellet in a protective layer of zinc. This zinc plating significantly cuts down on friction, allowing the shot column to maintain its perfect spherical geometry as it moves through the bore. Paired with an advanced one-piece cushioned shotcup that completely encapsulates the payload, your barrel is shielded from scoring while the pellets stay packed together tightly for a highly uniform downrange spread.
Slinging its 1 oz. payload at a crisp 1,200 FPS, this non-toxic load delivers plenty of clean-breaking kinetic energy for small upland birds without generating punishing, shoulder-fatiguing recoil. The specialized shotcup protects your choke integrity shot after shot, while a clean-burning propellant system keeps your action free of excessive carbon buildup during fast-paced flights. Whether you are working rolling farmlands or tracking erratic flight paths over open fields, this 25-round box provides the high hit probability and shot-to-shot consistency required for a successful day in the field.
