Federal Speed-Shok 12 Gauge 3" BB Shot 1-1/4oz Waterfowl Shells

Federal Speed-Shok 12 Gauge 3" BB Shot delivers consistent performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable knock-down power. This high-velocity steel shot ammunition maintains tight patterns at extended ranges while meeting all federal non-toxic shot requirements. Each shell contains precisely measured 1-1/4 ounce payloads engineered for clean harvests on ducks, geese, and other waterfowl.

What Makes This Different

Speed-Shok technology accelerates steel shot to higher velocities than standard waterfowl loads, creating flatter trajectories and increased downrange energy transfer. The specialized wad design protects barrel surfaces while maintaining shot column integrity through the choke. Federal's quality control processes ensure consistent velocities within 25 fps, delivering predictable performance shot after shot.

Key Features

• High-velocity steel BB shot for maximum knockdown power on waterfowl
• 1-1/4 ounce payload in 3-inch magnum shell configuration
• Non-toxic steel shot meets all federal waterfowl hunting regulations
• Precision-engineered wads protect barrel and maintain shot patterns
• Consistent primer ignition and powder charges for reliable cycling
• Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch shells
• Bulk packaging reduces cost per round for serious waterfowlers

Field testing demonstrates effective range capabilities extending beyond 40 yards on large waterfowl species. The BB shot size provides optimal penetration on thick-feathered birds while maintaining sufficient pattern density for consistent hits. Cold weather performance remains stable down to sub-freezing temperatures, ensuring reliable ignition during early season hunts. Federal's manufacturing standards maintain shot roundness and hardness specifications that translate to consistent ballistic performance.
