High-Performance, Non-Toxic Waterfowl Loads for Diverse Hunting Conditions

When opening weekend arrives and the maimai is fully brushed in, you need a cartridge that performs effectively, patterns consistently, and complies with non-toxic shot regulations over waterways. The Falcon Ultra Steel 12ga is specifically engineered for the dedicated waterfowl hunter, delivering exceptional effectiveness on fast-moving waterfowl.

What sets this specific load apart is its heavy 35gm payload packed into a standard 2 3/4-inch (70mm) hull. This gives shooters the dense pellet count and significant downrange energy usually associated with 3-inch magnums, but in a size that comfortably cycles through a massive variety of older semi-automatics and standard-chambered pump-action shotguns.

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

• Non-Toxic Compliance: Loaded with premium steel shot, making it 100% compliant with relevant environmental regulations for hunting over lakes, rivers, and wetlands.

• Heavy 35gm Payload: Delivers an exceptionally high pellet count for a 2 3/4-inch shell, providing dense patterns that eliminate gaps and ensure clean, ethical harvests.

• High-Velocity Performance: Pushed at high speeds (approximately 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.

• Manufactured in New Zealand: Proudly manufactured locally by Falcon Ammunition, ensuring consistent quality and availability for hunting seasons.
