Federal Premium ammunition begins with primers subjected to frequent inspections for dimensional tolerances and charge weight, ensuring consistent ignition with every shot. The propellants are specially formulated to Federal’s stringent specifications—clean-burning powders of the highest grades in the industry, delivering consistency and reliability.
The Black Cloud FS Steel shotgun ammunition is equipped with Federal’s Flitecontrol Flex wad, designed to deliver improved pattern density and consistency through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes. The wad’s redesigned rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents stimulate the payload for separation from the wad at the ideal moment for dense, deadly patterns.
This 12 gauge load features a payload composed of 40 percent FLITESTOPPER steel pellets and 60 percent Premium steel, paired with a high-performance primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant. The ammunition includes a plated head and sealed crimp that defeats moisture in extreme conditions.
