Federal Premium PWUX1422BB 12 Gauge 3" 1-1/4oz #2 Shot Shells

The Federal Premium PWUX1422BB delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for waterfowl hunters demanding maximum effectiveness at extended ranges. This 12-gauge load combines proven components with Federal's precision manufacturing to create ammunition that performs when conditions turn challenging.

What Makes This Different

Federal Premium shotshells utilize specially formulated propellants and high-quality shot that maintain velocity longer than standard loads. The 3-inch magnum shell provides 25% more payload capacity than 2-3/4 inch shells, while the 1-1/4 ounce shot charge delivers dense patterns at distances where standard loads fall short. Quality control standards exceed industry norms, with each shell meeting strict velocity and pressure specifications.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 ounce #2 shot charge for maximum knockdown power on medium to large waterfowl
• 3-inch magnum length provides increased powder capacity and velocity
• Premium brass-plated steel head construction resists corrosion in wet conditions
• High-density shot pellets maintain energy and penetration at extended ranges
• Consistent crimp design ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic shotguns
• 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing convenience
• Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for universal compatibility

Field testing demonstrates consistent 70% pattern density at 40 yards through modified chokes, with effective range extending to 50+ yards depending on choke selection. The #2 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for ducks, geese, and similar-sized game. Weather-resistant components maintain reliability in rain, snow, and temperature extremes commonly encountered during waterfowl season.
