Fed Ult Stl 12ga 3" 1.25oz #2 25/250

Federal Premium Ultra Steel 12-gauge 3-inch 1.25 oz #2 shot ammunition delivers dependable performance for waterfowl hunters and tactical shooters demanding tight patterns and clean knockdowns. This 25-round per box load combines Federal's reputation for consistent ballistics with modern wad technology designed specifically for demanding field conditions. Whether working through early-season flocks or requiring reliable backup ammunition for duty applications, Ultra Steel bridges performance and affordability in a time-tested platform.

The FLITECONTROL FLEX rear-opening wad system is the technical cornerstone of this load, engineered to separate cleanly from the payload while maintaining shot column integrity downrange. Zinc-plated steel shot resists corrosion and delivers hard-hitting energy without the lead concerns that restrict use in sensitive environments; the 1.25-ounce payload achieves velocity and pattern density critical for ethical, ethical longer-range work. Federal's quality control ensures round-to-round consistency—critical when pattern performance directly impacts field success and shooter confidence under pressure.

Waterfowl hunters operating in steel-shot-only zones will find Federal Premium Ultra Steel an industry standard, proven across countless seasons and varying barrel configurations. The #2 shot size balances pellet count with individual projectile energy, making it suitable for ducks and geese at practical hunting distances. Law enforcement and security personnel appreciate steel shot's reduced ricochet tendency and lead-free composition for indoor range or close-quarters training. Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch magnum loads, this ammunition delivers performance without surprises—exactly what serious shooters demand.
