Blue Steel: Fiocchi Downrange-Deadly Upland Birdshot

Published

on

You don’t need lead to get a good lead on a pheasant or chukar … just Fiocchi Upland Steel!

Fiocchi may originally hail from Italy, but the company’s defensive, target, and hunting ammunition is as American as Hawaiian pizza these days. They know that there are many states that have passed laws forbidding lead shot for upland birds as well as waterfowl … and that hunters in those states have the same dedication to a quick, ethical kill as everyone else. Without getting into the politics of metal–lead, bismuth, copper, and steel–using a well-designed steel-based load has other benefits as well. (As a purely personal preference, I use lead-free birdshot any time I intend to eat what I’m shooting at.) Whether you’re relegated to lead-free ammo by law or by choice, you need a shotshell that does the job quickly, cleanly, and ethically. That’s Fiocchi’s Field Dynamics Upland series.

The new Field Dynamics Upland Steel shotshells satisfies those needs for hunters in pursuit of upland birds or small game. The components and engineering behind the Upland Steel deliver the same high-quality and reliable performance experienced hunters and competitive shooters have come to expect from traditional Fiocchi shotshells. Two steel shotshell models are offered for the 2023 upland season. Both are designed for use in 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 2 3/4-inch and come loaded with either #4 or #6 steel shot.

Fiocchi Field Dynamics Upland Steel

  • 12-ga., 2 3/4-in., 1 1/8-oz. steel, 1400 fps, #4
  • 12-ga., 2 3/4-in., 1 1/8-oz. steel, 1400 fps, #6

But what about the rifle hunters? Well, Fiocchi has us covered there, too!

It’s called Fiocchi Knockdown, and if you’re in a non-toxic groove, you’ll love it. Developed for the hunter looking to gain deeper penetration and flatter trajectory from their favorite rifle, this all-copper bullet starts with a polymer tip to help control expansion from this tri-petal design.  The bullet grooves aid in reducing copper fouling and the higher B.C. provides flatter shooting for better down-range performance. The lead-free primer burns clean and hot to maximize powder efficiency for even greater consistency, round after round. All it will take is one shot to convince even the most discerning hunter there is a new cartridge for their hunt.

Fiocchi Knockdown is available in all your favorite hunting calibers: .270 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 Rem., .308 Win., 7mm Magnum, .30-06 Spfld., .300 Win. Mag., and .243 Win. Learn more about these new, nontoxic rounds by visiting FiocchiUSA.com!
