Federal Ammunition Black Cloud FS Steel High Velocity shotshells are engineered for waterfowl applications that demand high speed and consistent patterns. These 12 gauge, 3-inch BB loads are built to deliver higher velocity for shortened lead requirements and enhanced pattern density through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad promotes consistent payload separation, while a catalyst lead-free primer and temperature-stable propellant reduce residue in the barrel. Sold per box with 25 rounds; a case is composed of 10 boxes (250 rounds).
