Norma Wingstrike STEEL 12 Gauge 3″ 1 1/4 oz #2 Shot 1350 FPS lead-free – 25 Rounds (Box)

The Norma Wingstrike 12 Gauge 25 Rounds no lead steel load in #2 shot is built for hunters who need pellets that reach out and still hit hard. It stacks 1 1/4 ounces of #2 steel into a 3 inch hull and launches it at 1350 fps, which is the recipe for tough birds at honest distances. Norma was founded in 1902 and has spent that entire time learning how to make ammunition behave predictably.

Why the Norma Wingstrike 12 Gauge 25 Rounds no lead option matters

Non toxic shot is required across huge amounts of hunting ground, and steel is the most widely available answer. The trade is that steel pellets weigh less than lead of the same size, so the fix is bigger pellets driven faster. Modern steel loads have closed most of that gap, and hunters who learned to hate steel decades ago owe the current generation another look.

That is exactly what #2 shot delivers. Larger pellets carry more individual energy downrange, which makes this a strong choice for geese, big ducks, and any tough bird that shrugs off marginal hits. The Norma Wingstrike 12 Gauge 25 Rounds no lead recipe is aimed squarely at that job.

Turkey hunters and upland shooters have a use for it as well. The 12 gauge accepts an enormous spread of shot sizes and loads, and a heavy steel charge is one of the most useful configurations in the whole system. One shotgun and a few different boxes will carry you through an entire year of seasons.

What is in the box

The Norma Wingstrike 12 Gauge 25 Rounds no lead listing is simple, and every number in it is doing a job.

• One and a quarter ounces of #2 steel shot, sized for large, heavily feathered birds.
• Muzzle velocity of 1350 fps, which shortens your lead and preserves downrange energy.
• A 3 inch hull with the case capacity to launch a heavy steel payload properly.
• Completely lead free construction for every area where non toxic shot is required.
• Twenty five shells per box, enough for a hunting season plus the patterning that should come first.
• Swedish manufacturing from a company with well over a century in the ammunition business.

Specifications and how #2 steel behaves

Bigger pellets mean fewer pellets in the payload, and that is the trade you accept for reach. A #2 pellet retains energy better than smaller shot, so patterns stay effective further out even though the total pellet count drops.

Steel is also harder than lead, which changes how it patterns through a choke. Confirm your barrel and choke tubes are rated for steel before hunting, then compare the Norma Wingstrike 12 Gauge 25 Rounds no lead load against other options in the wider ammunition category.

Patterning, storage, and field use

Pattern the gun you actually hunt with. Shoot the Norma Wingstrike 12 Gauge 25 Rounds no lead shell at paper from 30 and 40 yards, count pellets inside a bird sized circle, and let that number set your maximum range rather than optimism.

Expect to open your choke. Steel patterns tighter than lead through identical constriction, so many hunters drop down a step when they switch loads, and a few test shells are the cheapest experiment in hunting.

Store shells cool and dry between seasons. A box of Norma Wingstrike 12 Gauge 25 Rounds no lead shells kept out of a hot truck and away from humidity will be exactly as good next fall as it is today.

Big birds need big pellets and enough speed to make them count, which is precisely what this shell delivers. Grab a box of the Norma Wingstrike 12 Gauge 25 Rounds no lead load, pattern your gun, and get to the blind. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
