[ HUNTING AMMO // 12 GA ]
12 GAUGE · DUCKS
What we recommend for Ducks with a 12 ga shotgun, and a link to shop matching ammo at JJ Armory.
[ 12 GA // DUCKS ]
RECOMMENDED SHOT
#2, #3, or #4 steel (or bismuth #4–#6 / TSS #7–#9)
STEEL, LEAD, OR OTHER NON-TOXIC
Steel, bismuth, or tungsten/TSS — never lead
WHY
Kent and Ducks Unlimited treat #2–#4 steel as the standard duck window; denser bismuth or TSS lets you drop a size or two for more pellets.
Use 2¾" or 3" (3½" for long pass-shooting). IC or modified over decoys. Federal Speed-Shok, Black Cloud, Winchester Xpert, Kent Fasteel, and Hevi-Steel/Bismuth are typical loads.
IN STOCK AT JJ ARMORY
These are the 12 gauge steel waterfowl loads we have in stock. Never lead for ducks.
