The Federal Speed-Shok 12 Gauge 3.50-Inch 1-3/8oz #2 Steel Shot (brand part no. WF133 2) is built for waterfowlers who need a non-toxic steel load with enough pellet count and energy to cover both ducks and smaller geese. Federal Ammunition loads Speed-Shok with a high-performance primer and fast-burning powder that dramatically reduces residue, while its optimized velocities deliver the knockdown power waterfowl hunting demands. The #2 pellet sits in the middle of Federal’s Speed-Shok shot-size lineup, a versatile choice when the decoy spread pulls in a mix of birds. In shotgun shells for waterfowl hunting, this is Federal’s #2 steel loading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is steel shot required for waterfowl instead of lead? Federal regulations require non-toxic shot like steel for waterfowl hunting, since lead shot ingested by birds from the environment poses a poisoning risk.

Is #2 shot better for ducks or geese? It’s a versatile middle-ground pellet suited to a mixed decoy spread of ducks and smaller geese, rather than being optimized specifically for one or the other.

How many rounds come in a box? Each box holds 25 rounds of 12 Gauge, with 10 boxes to a case.
