The Federal Speed-Shok WF1682 delivers consistent waterfowl performance with steel shot technology engineered for clean, ethical harvests. This 16-gauge load combines proven ballistics with reliable ignition systems that perform in harsh weather conditions.
What Makes This Different
Federal's Speed-Shok technology pushes steel shot to higher velocities than standard steel loads while maintaining tight patterns. The precision-formed steel pellets retain energy downrange better than soft shot alternatives. Advanced wad design protects barrel integrity while delivering consistent shot column performance that hunters depend on for waterfowl success.
Key Features
- High-velocity steel shot reaches 1425 fps for extended effective range
- 15/16 ounce payload of #2 steel shot optimized for medium waterfowl
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 16-gauge shotguns including vintage models
- Catalyst lead-free primer ensures reliable ignition in cold conditions
- Precision steel pellets maintain spherical shape for consistent patterns
- Advanced wad design protects barrel from steel shot contact
- 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case for volume purchasing
Field testing demonstrates effective pattern density at extended ranges typical of waterfowl hunting scenarios. The #2 shot size strikes the balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy needed for clean kills on ducks and geese. Steel construction meets all federal non-toxic shot requirements for waterfowl hunting while delivering the knockdown power hunters require.
