The Federal WF1432 Speed-Shok delivers consistent high-velocity performance for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable knockdown power. This 12-gauge load combines proven steel shot technology with Federal's precision manufacturing to create effective patterns at extended ranges. Fast-burning powder and optimized wad design maximize velocity while maintaining tight shot groups.
What Makes This Different
Speed-Shok ammunition utilizes a specialized wad system that reduces pellet deformation during barrel travel, resulting in more uniform patterns compared to standard steel loads. The high-velocity design generates 1,550 feet per second muzzle velocity, providing 15% more energy than comparable loads. Federal's quality control processes ensure consistent powder charges and crimp specifications across every round in the box.
Key Features
- High-velocity 1,550 fps muzzle velocity for extended effective range
- Premium steel #2 shot pellets with consistent roundness and hardness
- 3-inch magnum hull with reliable brass-plated steel head construction
- Specialized wad design reduces shot deformation and improves patterns
- Non-toxic steel shot composition meets all waterfowl hunting regulations
- 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
- Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns rated for 3-inch magnum loads
Field performance testing shows consistent 30-inch patterns at 40 yards with modified choke tubes. The 1-1/8 ounce shot charge provides optimal pellet count for medium to large waterfowl while maintaining manageable recoil. Steel shot construction eliminates lead contamination concerns in sensitive wetland areas. The magnum hull design handles high pressures generated by fast-burning powder charges without case head separation.
