Federal Black Cloud FS 20GA 3" 1oz #2 Shot Waterfowl Shells

The Federal PWBX2092 Black Cloud FS delivers devastating waterfowl performance through FliteStopper technology that combines standard steel shot with specialized cutting pellets. This 20-gauge load maximizes knockdown power while maintaining the flat trajectory hunters need for long-range shots.

What Makes This Different

FliteStopper technology sets Black Cloud apart from conventional steel shot loads by incorporating both round steel pellets and FliteStopper pellets with cutting petals. Upon impact, these specialized pellets create larger wound channels than standard steel shot. The result is more reliable bird recovery with fewer crippled birds, particularly on tough late-season waterfowl.

Key Features

• FliteStopper technology combines steel shot with cutting pellets for enhanced terminal performance
• 20-gauge 3-inch magnum shell delivers 1oz of #2 shot at 1350 fps
• Precision steel shot maintains tight patterns at extended ranges
• Low-recoil design reduces felt recoil compared to 12-gauge equivalents
• Non-toxic steel shot meets all waterfowl hunting regulations nationwide
• 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
• Compatible with all 20-gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1350 fps muzzle velocity with tight pattern density at 40+ yards. The FliteStopper pellets maintain their cutting edges through barrel travel, delivering maximum terminal effect on ducks, geese, and other waterfowl. Hunters report clean kills on birds that might otherwise require follow-up shots with standard steel loads.
