The Federal Speed-Shok WF143BB delivers consistent knockdown power for waterfowl hunters demanding reliable performance in challenging conditions. These 12-gauge shells combine proven steel shot technology with Federal's precision manufacturing to ensure clean kills at extended ranges. Hunters consistently choose Speed-Shok for its balance of velocity, pattern density, and affordability across diverse waterfowl hunting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
Speed-Shok ammunition features Federal's specialized steel shot formulation that maintains tight patterns while delivering maximum energy transfer on impact. The precision-loaded BB shot provides optimal penetration for medium to large waterfowl at ranges up to 50 yards. Unlike standard steel loads that can lose effectiveness at distance, Speed-Shok maintains consistent velocity through Federal's advanced powder chemistry and quality control standards.
Key Features
- BB steel shot delivers devastating stopping power on ducks, geese, and other waterfowl
- 3-inch magnum shell length maximizes payload capacity and downrange energy
- 1-1/8 ounce shot charge provides dense patterns for consistent kills
- High-velocity loading ensures flat trajectory and reduced lead requirements
- Non-toxic steel shot meets all federal and state waterfowl hunting regulations
- Reliable primer ignition performs consistently in wet, cold conditions
- Precision-crimped hull design ensures consistent chamber pressure and extraction
Field testing demonstrates Speed-Shok's effectiveness across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without significant velocity variation. The BB shot size proves ideal for pass-shooting scenarios where penetration matters more than pellet count. Hunters report consistent performance in both early-season teal hunting and late-season goose hunting applications.
