Madison, NC –-(AmmoLand.com)- Few things are more challenging than hitting fast moving, high flying waterfowl. To meet this challenge, Remington is proud to introduce the fastest velocity, highest downrange pattern energies ever produced in the history of steel waterfowl loads; the revolutionary new HyperSonic Steel. To put it simply, waterfowl hunters now have the fastest, hardest-hitting, steel shot shell in the world, resulting in shorter leads to help hunters be more successful.

At the heart of the new HyperSonic Steel™ load is the patent pending Xelerator® Wad. The newly designed wad features a unique Ignition Chamber which allows higher velocity with safe pressures.

How does the Xelerator® Wad work?
The primer ignites a small portion of the powder charge captured in the “Ignition Chamber”, this captive charge accelerates the wad and payload forward until the remainder of the powder charge is ignited. The increased volume behind the wad allows for the remainder of the propellant to burn, driving the shot to 1700 fps without causing excessive pressure – all in just a fraction of a millisecond.

With the HyperSonic Steel producing velocities at 1700fps, the lead on flying ducks is shortened by 8-inches at 40 yards which gives the hunter a higher success rate and less crippling with fewer shots. Now waterfowl hunters have a load with the highest steel pattern energy ever produced; up to 16% greater energy than current steel high velocity loads, with longer-range lethality in 10 load choices.

“At 1700 fps HyperSonic Steel is the most innovative and exciting shotshell developed in decades. It will change the way that we hunt waterfowl” said Kevin Cross, Remington Research Engineer – Ammunition.

Can't increase velocity without increasing recoil. Hornady stated their new ammo would increase 30-06 speed by 200 f.p.s. and no change in recoil or muzzle blast. Bullshit. felt like 300 win mag ,sounded like 300 win mag.First time ever had model 700 not operate properly, safety refused to move and couldn't open chamberfor a few seconds. traded em for win ball silvertips. Just as accurate and normal pressure. Guess you can't beat laws of physics.

I never had that problem,but I think,that those who sell these shells,and promote them,should tell there custmers just how hard they kick. There brutal,makes a fast second shot hard to get off,and even worse,after half a box,you will be flinching.

these shells dont like moisture at all,after a couple of days left in my truck , they would not fire at all:they where there whith few other brand that y had in the car for months and still fire like new,,,what is wrong with them? may it is the two stage ignition ……..
