The Federal Speed-Shok WF1423 delivers consistent knockdown power for waterfowl hunters who demand reliable performance in challenging conditions. This 12-gauge load combines high velocity with precision-engineered steel shot for effective range and stopping power. Each shell contains 1 1/4 ounces of #3 steel shot optimized for medium to large waterfowl.
What Makes This Different
Speed-Shok technology generates higher velocities than standard steel loads while maintaining tight, consistent patterns. The specialized wad design protects barrel integrity while ensuring optimal shot dispersion at extended ranges. Federal's quality control standards result in more uniform shot weights and velocities compared to budget alternatives, translating to predictable performance shot after shot.
Key Features
- High-velocity steel shot reaches targets faster with flatter trajectory
- 1 1/4 ounce payload of #3 steel shot for versatile waterfowl hunting
- 3-inch magnum shells maximize range and energy transfer
- Protective wad system prevents barrel wear from steel shot
- Consistent crimp and powder charges ensure reliable ignition
- Non-toxic steel shot meets all waterfowl hunting regulations
- 25 shells per box provide ample ammunition for hunting trips
Field performance centers on the #3 shot size's versatility across duck and goose species. The steel pellets retain energy effectively at ranges up to 50 yards, making clean kills on birds that might escape with smaller shot sizes. Weather-resistant primer sealing prevents moisture penetration during wet hunting conditions. The high-base hull construction withstands the pressures generated by magnum powder charges.
