Federal Premium ammunition begins with the finest primers, which undergo frequent inspections for dimensional tolerances and charge weight to ensure consistent ignition on every shot. The propellants are specially formulated to meet Federal’s stringent specifications, using clean-burning powders among the highest grades available in the industry for consistent and reliable performance.
The Federal Black Cloud FS High Velocity 12 Gauge 3 Inch ammunition delivers high-speed performance that offers more energy and reduces lead times. Each round is equipped with Federal’s Flitecontrol Flex wad, engineered 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 to separate from the wad at the ideal moment, producing dense, deadly patterns.
This 25-round shotgun ammunition features a 1 1/8oz payload comprised of 40 percent FLITESTOPPER steel pellets and 60 percent Premium steel, paired with a high-performance primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant. The plated head and sealed crimp defeat moisture in extreme conditions. The Number 2 shot loading is designed for waterfowl hunting applications where pattern density and payload consistency are critical.
