At 1700 feet per second, Remington HyperSonic waterfowl ammunition is becoming more and more popular among waterfowl shooters because of it’s top speed and unique Xelerator wad. Featuring a unique ignition chamber, the Xelerator wad allows for higher velocities while maintaining a safe pressure. In two different stages, the primer ignites a small powder charge then its primary powder charge to release the non-toxic steel pellets. Travelling at a high velocity, these pellets increase your chances of hitting your target the first time.  Most ducks are missed from behind, but the unprecedented velocity of Remington HyperSonic Steel compensates for this by reducing required lead by 8″ at 40 yards (about a full body length) on a duck flying at average speed. It puts more steel shot in the head and neck for quicker kills and fewer misses – without changing the way you shoot. With the highest velocity and downrange pattern energies ever achieved, HyperSonic Steel takes lethality to new heights, to a level of terminal performance where more birds drop with fewer shots – at the farthest reaches of your abilities. And only Remington harnessed the wad technology to do it.
