Falcon Ultra Steel 12ga 2 3/4" 35gm Steel 25 Rounds

For the dedicated waterfowl hunter, the Falcon Ultra Steel 12ga shotgun cartridge is engineered to perform consistently and comply with non-toxic shot regulations. These hard-hitting loads deliver exceptional knockdown power on fast-moving mallards, parries, and swans, making them ideal for hunting over New Zealand waterways.

This specific load features a heavy 35gm payload packed into a standard 2 3/4" (70mm) hull. This provides shooters with a dense pellet count and impressive downrange energy, often associated with 3-inch magnum loads, but in a size that comfortably cycles through a wide variety of older semi-automatic and standard-chambered pump-action shotguns.

Driven at high velocities, Falcon Ultra Steel utilises premium, perfectly spherical steel shot to ensure tight, uniform patterns, helping to shorten your required lead on passing birds. Loaded in New Zealand with clean-burning powders and highly reliable primers, these weather-resistant shells are built to perform flawlessly on freezing, rain-soaked mornings in the swamp.

• Non-Toxic Compliance: Loaded with premium steel shot, making it 100% compliant with Department of Conservation (DOC) regulations for hunting over lakes, rivers, and wetlands.
• Heavy 35gm Payload: Delivers an exceptionally high pellet count for a 2 3/4" shell, providing dense patterns that eliminate gaps and ensure clean, ethical harvests.
• High-Velocity Performance: Pushed at high speeds (approx. 1400 fps) to maximise downrange kinetic energy and reduce the amount of forward lead needed on fast-flying ducks.
• Universal 2 3/4" Chambering: Fits and flawlessly cycles in almost all modern and vintage 12ga shotguns, meaning you do not need a 3-inch magnum chamber to get magnum-level pellet counts.
• All-Weather Reliability: Housed in durable plastic hulls with high-quality brass-washed bases that resist swelling and corrosion in wet, muddy duck blinds.
• New Zealand Made: Proudly manufactured locally by Falcon Ammunition, ensuring consistent quality and availability for the Kiwi hunting season.
