Federal Black Cloud TSS 20-gauge 3-inch shotgun ammunition delivers superior waterfowl terminal performance through advanced pellet technology. This load pairs FLITESTOPPER Steel pellets with 18 g/cc Tungsten Super Shot, achieving 56 percent higher density than lead and more than double the density of steel. The result is a payload that maintains velocity downrange, hits harder on impact, and penetrates deeper than conventional waterfowl ammunition.
The #3/9 shot size configuration targets mid-to-small waterfowl with pattern density optimized for typical hunting ranges. Federal's Flightcontrol Flex wad opens from the rear rather than forward, ensuring controlled pellet release and consistent shot patterns with minimal fliers. This design reduces spread variance and concentrates energy on target—critical factors when working distance and wind on open water. The 10-round pack (100 rounds per case) format supports both regular duck season hunting and extended range sessions.
Black Cloud TSS is engineered for dedicated waterfowlers who demand maximum lethality within legal ammunition constraints. The tungsten-based payload excels in offshore, river, and marsh environments where longer shots and waterfowl with dense feathering are routine. Operators shooting over decoys or from blinds benefit from the tighter, more predictable patterns this technology produces compared to steel-only loads of identical shot size.
TSS ammunition represents the current standard for premium waterfowl loads, balancing federal regulations with ballistic performance. The 20-gauge platform provides reduced recoil relative to 12-gauge while maintaining effective range, making it suitable for extended hunting sessions and shooters managing heavier magnum loads.
