Federal Premium ammunition begins with primers subjected to frequent inspections for dimensional tolerances and charge weight, ensuring consistent ignition shot after shot. The propellants are specially formulated to meet Federal’s stringent specifications—clean-burning powders of the highest grades available, delivering consistency and reliability.
The Federal Black Cloud FS High Velocity 12 Gauge 3 Inch ammunition features high-speed loads that generate increased energy and reduced lead times. The Flitecontrol Flex wad delivers improved pattern density and consistency through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes. Redesigned rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents stimulate payload separation from the wad at the optimal moment, producing dense, deadly patterns.
This load combines a 1 1/8oz payload of 40 percent FLITESTOPPER steel pellets and 60 percent Premium steel pellets with a high-performance primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant. The plated head and sealed crimp protect against moisture in extreme conditions. Each box contains 25 rounds of Number 4 shot ammunition engineered for waterfowl hunting performance.
