The Federal Speed-Shok WF1422 delivers consistent knockdown power for waterfowl hunting with precision-engineered steel shot technology. This 12-gauge ammunition combines high velocity with reliable ignition systems to maximize effectiveness on ducks, geese, and upland birds at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Speed-Shok ammunition utilizes Federal's advanced steel shot manufacturing process that creates rounder pellets with fewer deformities compared to standard steel loads. The optimized powder charge generates higher velocities while maintaining consistent shot patterns. This results in flatter trajectories and increased energy transfer at distances where standard loads begin to lose effectiveness.
Key Features
- High-velocity 1,450 fps muzzle velocity for extended range performance
- Precision steel #2 shot pellets deliver maximum energy transfer
- 3-inch magnum shell length accommodates 1-1/4 oz shot payload
- Lead-free steel shot meets all waterfowl hunting regulations
- Reliable primer ignition system functions in cold weather conditions
- Consistent crimping ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic shotguns
- 25-round boxes provide convenient range and field quantities
Field testing demonstrates effective performance on medium to large waterfowl at ranges up to 50 yards. The #2 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for clean, ethical harvests. Steel construction eliminates lead contamination concerns while maintaining ballistic performance across temperature extremes from freezing conditions to warm early season hunts.
