The Federal Speed-Shok WF1333 delivers consistent waterfowl performance with high-velocity steel shot designed for extended range effectiveness. This 12-gauge load combines proven ballistics with reliable ignition systems for hunters targeting ducks and geese in challenging conditions.
What Makes This Different
Speed-Shok ammunition utilizes Federal's precision-loaded steel shot technology to maintain tight patterns at extended distances. The high-velocity design generates 15% more energy than standard steel loads while maintaining consistent shot placement. Federal's quality control processes ensure uniform powder charges and crimp consistency across every round in the box.
Key Features
- High-velocity steel shot for extended effective range on waterfowl
- 1-3/8 ounce payload of #3 steel shot optimized for ducks and geese
- 3.5-inch magnum hull maximizes powder capacity and velocity
- Non-toxic steel shot meets all federal waterfowl hunting regulations
- Reliable primer ignition system functions in cold, wet conditions
- Precision-crimped hulls ensure consistent chamber pressure
- 25 rounds per box packaging with 10 boxes per case for volume purchasing
Field performance centers on the #3 shot size, which provides optimal penetration on medium to large waterfowl while maintaining sufficient pellet count for effective patterns. The 3.5-inch magnum configuration generates muzzle velocities approaching 1,400 feet per second, extending lethal range compared to standard 3-inch loads. Steel shot construction eliminates lead contamination concerns while delivering reliable terminal performance on ducks, geese, and other waterfowl species.
