The Federal WF1452 Speed-Shok delivers consistent waterfowl performance with precision-engineered steel shot and high-velocity loads. This 12-gauge ammunition combines proven ballistics with reliable ignition for hunters demanding consistent patterns and knockdown power. Federal's Speed-Shok line maintains tight shot groups while delivering the energy transfer needed for clean harvests.
What Makes This Different
Speed-Shok ammunition features Federal's proprietary steel shot manufacturing process that produces rounder pellets compared to standard steel loads. The uniform shot geometry creates more consistent patterns and improved downrange energy retention. High-velocity loads reach 1,550 feet per second, providing flatter trajectories and reduced lead requirements on crossing shots.
Key Features
- High-velocity 1,550 fps loads for flatter shooting trajectories
- Precision steel #2 shot pellets for waterfowl hunting applications
- 1-1/8 ounce shot charge provides optimal pellet count and energy
- 2.75-inch shells compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns
- Federal brass-plated steel heads for reliable extraction
- Consistent powder charges for shot-to-shot uniformity
- 25-round boxes packaged in 10-box cases for bulk purchasing
Field testing demonstrates consistent patterns at waterfowl hunting ranges with effective performance on ducks and geese. The steel shot composition meets federal non-toxic requirements for waterfowl hunting while maintaining sufficient energy for clean kills at extended ranges. Weather-resistant primers provide reliable ignition in wet conditions typical of waterfowl environments.
