Federal Speed-Shok 12 Gauge 3.5" BBB Shot Waterfowl Shells 25/Box

Federal Speed-Shok 12 Gauge 3.5" ammunition delivers the high-velocity performance waterfowl hunters demand for long-range shots at ducks and geese. This BBB shot load combines proven steel shot technology with consistent powder charges to ensure reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns. The 1 3/8 oz payload provides dense patterns at extended ranges where waterfowl hunting success depends on immediate knockdown power.

What Makes This Different

Speed-Shok technology accelerates steel shot to velocities that rival premium waterfowl loads at a fraction of the cost. The precision-loaded steel pellets maintain their spherical shape better than soft lead alternatives, delivering consistent flight patterns and energy transfer. Federal's quality control ensures each shell meets SAAMI pressure specifications while maximizing velocity within safe operating parameters.

Key Features

• High-velocity steel shot reaches 1450 fps muzzle velocity for flat trajectory
• BBB shot size (0.190" diameter) ideal for large ducks and geese at 40+ yards
• 1 3/8 oz payload provides 87 pellets per shell for dense patterns
• 3.5" magnum length maximizes powder capacity and downrange energy
• Waterproof primer and crimp seal prevent moisture penetration
• High-strength hull withstands repeated ejection and extraction cycles
• Non-toxic steel shot meets federal waterfowl hunting regulations

Field performance data shows Speed-Shok maintains lethal energy beyond 50 yards when fired through modified or full choke tubes. The steel shot composition eliminates lead fouling in barrels while providing the penetration needed for clean harvests on large waterfowl. Cold weather reliability testing confirms consistent ignition down to -20°F, critical for late-season hunting conditions.
