12 Gauge Birdshot Waterfowl Hunting Lead Free 3" shells are built for duck and goose hunting where non-toxic shot is required, typically loaded with steel shot in sizes such as #2, #3, or #4. The 3" shell length allows for higher payload capacity and velocities to compensate for steel’s lower density compared to lead. These loads are designed for duck and goose hunting, providing the pattern density and energy needed for ethical harvests at common waterfowl distances. Pricing usually runs higher than lead upland loads due to material costs and specialized construction. The products listed above include dedicated waterfowl lines from major manufacturers, so daily price movement reflects the non-toxic hunting market.
