Fed Ult Stl 20ga 3" 1oz #2/#4 25/250

Federal Premium Ultra Steel 20 gauge 3-inch shotgun ammunition delivers the tight, lethal patterns waterfowlers and upland hunters demand when birds are in range. Loaded with 1-ounce payloads of zinc-plated steel shot in #2 and #4 sizes, this 25-round per box load combines Federal's premium manufacturing with advanced wad technology to maximize effective range and knockdown power. Whether you're working salt marshes, freshwater impoundments, or pursuing upland game, the Federal Premium Ultra Steel ammunition for sale offers the consistency and performance serious hunters rely on season after season.

The core innovation here is Federal's FLITECONTROL FLEX rear-opening wad design, which maintains shot column integrity throughout the barrel and beyond, resulting in denser, tighter patterns downrange than conventional wads. Zinc-plated steel pellets resist corrosion and deformation, ensuring consistent ballistics even in harsh wetland environments where moisture and salt spray accelerate oxidation. The 3-inch 20 gauge magnum format generates sufficient velocity and payload mass to effectively reach birds at extended distances, while the dual shot sizing (#2/#4 mix) provides versatility—larger #2 pellets for distant waterfowl, smaller #4 for closer upland targets or improved pattern density in wind.

This ammunition is purpose-built for 20 gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch magnum loads and performs optimally in semi-automatic, pump, and over-under platforms with properly functioning ejection systems. Hunters who prioritize shot quality and pattern consistency over volume will find the Federal Premium Ultra Steel specification meets lead-shot-equivalent effectiveness in non-toxic applications. Verify your firearm's chamber length and shot load rating before purchase; always follow local regulations regarding shot type and seasonal restrictions for your specific hunting zone.
