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

Federal Black Cloud FS Steel 12-gauge 3-inch #3 shot ammunition delivers the precision and pattern density waterfowl hunters demand. Equipped with Federal's advanced Flightcontrol wad technology, these 25-round packages feature rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents that optimize payload separation for denser, more consistent shot patterns through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes.

The ballistic performance hinges on proven propellant chemistry: Federal's high-performance primer combined with clean-burning, temperature-stable powder significantly reduces fouling and residue buildup in the barrel—a critical advantage during extended waterfowl seasons or intensive pattern-testing sessions. The 3-inch hull accommodates higher payload capacity than standard 2.75-inch loads, translating to denser pattern performance at extended ranges where waterfowl typically present. Steel shot construction ensures compliance with federal waterfowl regulations requiring nontoxic ammunition.

This load is purpose-built for dedicated waterfowl hunters who prioritize pattern consistency and long-range effectiveness. The #3 shot size balances effective range with pattern density—larger than #4 for improved knockdown authority, smaller than #2 for tighter patterns. Whether hunting from blinds, over decoys, or pursuing pass-shooting opportunities, the Federal Black Cloud FS Steel delivers the terminal performance and reliability serious waterfowl hunters expect. Each 25-round pack provides enough ammunition for a productive hunting day or extensive range validation of your setup.
