The ecological shotshell TARGET LOAD STEEL provides an alternative to the conventional shotshells when target shooting where it is forbidden to use lead shot.

The shotshells with steel shot require a series of additional precautions to be taken due to the nature of the shot.

  • Although the plastic container wad is specially designed to protect the barrels and the choke of the shotgun, the use of steel shot could cause damage.

  • Shooting at hard surfaces should be avoided due to the danger of the much greater rebound of this type of shot.

  • Never reload shotshells with steel shot as this could generate elevated pressures in the chamber of the gun.

  • Take care when eating game hunted with these shot shells as the shot could seriously damage your teeth.
