Fed Speed-shok Steel 28ga 2 3/4 # 6

Federal Speed-Shok Steel 28ga 2 3/4 #6 shotgun ammunition delivers clean, efficient performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reduced fouling and reliable knockdown power. Built on Federal's proven Catalyst lead-free primer technology and optimized fast-burning powder formula, this 28-gauge load minimizes residue buildup in barrels and actions while maintaining the velocities necessary for consistent bird harvest across varying field conditions.

The 2 3/4-inch hull drives #6 shot at 1350 feet per second—a velocity specifically engineered to balance energy transfer with pattern density for 28-gauge applications. Shot size #6 provides the density needed for waterfowl at typical hunting ranges while the steel composition meets non-toxic ammunition requirements across regulated waterfowl zones. Each box contains 25 rounds, making this a practical choice for both weekend hunters and those running higher-volume training sessions. The lead-free primer ensures function across a broad range of chamber temperatures and atmospheric conditions without the corrosive residue associated with older primer technology.

This ammunition is optimized for dedicated 28-gauge shotguns and serves hunters who favor the light recoil and reduced payload of the 28-gauge platform without sacrificing terminal performance. The cleaner burn profile reduces the time spent on barrel cleaning between shooting sessions—a practical advantage on multi-day hunts or when cycling through multiple firearms. Federal Speed-Shok has established itself as a standard choice among 28-gauge users seeking factory ammunition that balances compliance with lead-free mandates, proven reliability, and field-proven lethality.
