Federal Premium Ultra Steel loads 12 Gauge 3-1/2 inch shells with 1 1/2 oz of #2 and #4 shot, propelled to 1500 fps. The ammunition pairs a rear-opening FLITECONTROL FLEX wad with zinc-plated steel shot, generating tight shot patterns and extending effective range. The double-stacked payload combines two shot sizes—smaller pellets for full pattern density and larger pellets for enhanced lethality.
This load delivers exceptional consistency and a concentrated core, maximizing effectiveness at distance. Federal’s zinc coating protects the steel shot against corrosion, distinguishing Ultra Steel from many competing steel loads. The rear-opening FLITECONTROL FLEX wad works with premium zinc-plated steel to produce extremely tight patterns. A reliable primer and clean-burning propellant round out the component package. The dual shot-size design—smaller pellets creating full patterns and larger ones delivering superior lethality—balances pattern density with knockdown power.
Each box contains 25 rounds, engineered for serious waterfowlers who depend on advanced wad technology and premium zinc-plated steel for reliable, range-stretching performance.
