Falcon Ammunition's Power Steel hunting cartridges are specifically engineered for New Zealand's diverse hunting conditions, offering high-velocity, hard-hitting performance for waterfowlers. These shotgun shells are meticulously loaded with premium steel shot and high-quality powders, ensuring consistent and reliable performance in all weather conditions.

The Falcon Power Steel 30gm load is specifically designed for duck hunters who want high downrange speed without the significant shoulder recoil of heavy 3-inch magnum loads. Proudly loaded in New Zealand, this cartridge is engineered to suit demanding wetland hunting conditions, providing a highly effective alternative to traditional, heavier steel payloads.

By slightly reducing the payload weight to 30gm (1 1/16 oz) inside a standard 2 3/4-inch (70mm) hull, Falcon has managed to push the muzzle velocity to an impressive 1520 feet per second. This extra speed is crucial when shooting steel shot, as it drastically increases the kinetic energy of each individual pellet, ensuring clean, ethical harvests on fast-flying Mallards and Paradise Ducks at standard decoying ranges.

Fitted with a premium plastic shot cup, these cartridges protect your shotgun’s barrel and deliver tight, uniform patterns. This load is perfectly suited for modern semi-automatics and traditional over-under shotguns alike. For a fast, reliable, and comfortable-shooting cartridge for opening weekend, the Power Steel 30gm is an exceptional choice.

• High Velocity: Clocking in at 1520 fps, the high speed compensates for the lighter weight of steel shot, delivering effective impact.
• Standard 2 3/4" Hull: Fits and cycles flawlessly in all standard 12-gauge shotguns, producing noticeably less felt recoil than 3-inch magnum alternatives.
• Optimised 30gm Payload: Provides the perfect balance of pattern density and speed, making it an incredibly efficient load for shooting over decoys.
• Barrel-Safe Wad: Utilises a heavy-duty plastic wad designed to encase the steel payload completely, protecting your barrel's interior from scoring.
• New Zealand Made: Manufactured locally by Falcon Ammunition, utilising premium powders and primers engineered to ignite reliably in freezing, damp conditions.
