Federal Black Cloud FS Steel 12ga 3.5" #2 shot ammunition delivers purpose-built waterfowl performance through advanced wad technology and consistent pattern density. This 25-round case (250 rounds total) is engineered for shooters who demand reliable, dense shot patterns through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes in field conditions.
The Flightcontrol wad redesign is the core innovation here. Rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents control payload separation timing, ensuring the shot charge stays together longer for denser patterns at distance—a critical advantage when targeting waterfowl over decoys or in low-light conditions. Federal's high-performance primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant reduce barrel fouling and residue buildup, lowering field maintenance demands and extending barrel life. The 3.5-inch magnum case delivers the velocity and payload needed for larger flocks and challenging range shots without requiring reloads mid-hunt.
This ammunition is built for serious waterfowl hunters who shoot high volume and rely on consistent ballistics across varying conditions. Duck and goose hunters operating in cold weather, coastal salt air, and extended field days benefit from the primer stability and fouling reduction. The #2 shot size balances effective range with payload density, making it a versatile choice for both ducks and geese. Order by the case to keep supply consistent through the season.
