Fed Blk Cloud 12ga 3" #2 25/250

Federal Black Cloud 12ga 3" #2 shot is a premium waterfowl load engineered for dense, consistent patterns through both ported and standard chokes. Built on proven Federal ammunition standards, this load combines the Flightcontrol wad system with high-performance primers and clean-burning propellant to deliver the terminal performance waterfowl hunters demand in challenging conditions.

The Flightcontrol wad features rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents that stimulate payload separation at the ideal moment, resulting in superior pattern density and shot string consistency. The #2 shot size provides optimal pellet count and energy retention for medium to long-range waterfowl applications, while the 3-inch magnum case capacity maximizes velocity without excess recoil. Temperature-stable powder and premium primer technology ensure reliable ignition and consistent ballistics across the seasonal temperature swings hunters encounter from early fall through late winter.

This ammunition is designed for serious duck and goose hunters who rely on pattern uniformity and shot placement in variable weather. The 25-round pack (packaged in two 12.5-round sleeves) fits standard shotgun shell boxes, making it convenient for field carry and storage. Federal Black Cloud FS Steel loads are compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch shells and perform reliably in both autoloaders and pump guns. Clean-burning propellant technology reduces carbon and residue buildup, extending maintenance intervals between range sessions and hunting trips.

Steel shot waterfowl ammunition has become the industry standard across North America, and Federal Black Cloud delivers the ballistic performance and pattern quality that separates quality loads from budget alternatives. For hunters serious about maximizing success in the marsh or field, this ammunition provides the shot string uniformity and velocity needed to convert opportunities into clean harvests.
