The Federal Black Cloud FS High Velocity delivers devastating waterfowl performance with its unique FliteStopper wad technology and premium steel shot payload. This 12-gauge 3-inch shell combines 1-1/8 ounces of #2 steel shot with Federal's innovative wad design to create tighter patterns and increased lethality on ducks and geese at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

Federal's FliteStopper wad technology separates this ammunition from standard steel loads through its rear-braking petals that slow the wad while maintaining shot velocity. The result is 25% tighter patterns compared to conventional steel loads, with reduced flyers that can wound birds. High velocity performance pushes steel shot at 1635 fps, delivering the energy needed for clean kills on large waterfowl.

Key Features

  • FliteStopper wad technology creates 25% tighter patterns than standard steel
  • High velocity 1635 fps muzzle velocity for maximum downrange energy
  • Premium steel shot construction resists deformation for consistent patterns
  • 3-inch magnum shell length accommodates full 1-1/8 ounce payload
  • #2 shot size optimized for medium to large waterfowl at 30-50 yard ranges
  • 25 rounds per box packaging for extended hunting sessions
  • Non-toxic steel shot meets all federal waterfowl hunting regulations
Field testing demonstrates consistent 40+ yard effectiveness on mallards and Canada geese, with the FliteStopper wad maintaining pattern integrity through crosswinds and adverse conditions. The high velocity load compensates for steel shot's lighter weight compared to lead, delivering sufficient energy for clean harvests on tough birds. Hunters report reliable ignition and consistent velocities across temperature extremes from early season teal to late season cold weather hunts.
