Apex Ammunition has launched new Waterfowl Stratified S3 Steel shotshells in 12- and 20-gauge loads, featuring layered shot combinations for effective performance in waterfowl hunting. Designed based on hunter feedback, these shells offer improved pattern density and terminal energy, making them suitable for both close and long-range shooting of ducks and geese.
Apex Ammunition is excited to introduce new Waterfowl Stratified™ S3 Steel shotshells in 12- and 20-gauge loads.
Featuring layered shot sizes of Apex S3 zinc-coated steel in #BB / #2 (12-gauge only), #2 / #4, or #4 / #6 combinations, each Stratified load is designed to deliver devastating performance at multiple ranges – with dense mid-range patterns and increased terminal energy at longer distances for confident kills.
“The Waterfowl Stratified™ Series was developed in direct response to our most dedicated hunters asking for a smarter, harder-hitting shell for ducks and geese,” said Jason Lonsberry, President and CEO, Apex Ammunition. “By combining multiple shot sizes in a single payload, this shell ensures you get tight pattern coverage up close and hard-hitting knockdown at distance, making it ideal for the unpredictable nature of waterfowl hunting.”
FEATURES
- Layered Shot Payload – Optimized for both close-in birds and long-range flyers
- Deadly Pattern Density – Increased pellet count on target
- Customer-Driven Innovation – Built on real-world feedback from the field
