The Federal Premium PWUX14224 delivers consistent upland game performance with its precision-loaded 12-gauge 3-inch shells featuring dual shot sizes. This premium waterfowl ammunition combines #2 and #4 shot in a 1-1/4 ounce payload for versatile hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
Federal's dual-shot configuration provides both knockdown power and pattern density in a single shell. The #2 shot delivers energy for larger birds at extended ranges, while the #4 shot fills pattern gaps for closer shots. This eliminates the need to carry multiple shell types, streamlining your hunting setup compared to single-shot-size alternatives.

Field testing shows effective patterns on medium to large waterfowl and upland birds. The dual-shot design maintains lethal energy on ducks and geese while providing sufficient pattern density for fast-flushing pheasants and grouse.
