Federal Black Cloud FS Steel 28 Gauge 3-Inch 3/4oz #4 Shot Shells, 25-Round Box

Federal Black Cloud FS Steel shotshells (brand part no. PWBX2854) load 3/4 ounce of #4 FLITESTOPPER steel shot in a 28 gauge, 3-inch magnum hull at a rated 1400 fps, bringing Federal’s flagship waterfowl technology down to a sub-gauge platform. FLITESTOPPER pellets carry cut, irregular edges rather than a smooth round profile, a design built to increase tissue damage and knockdown power on impact compared to a standard round steel pellet. Pairing that technology with 28 gauge gives waterfowl hunters a genuinely lighter-carrying gun without giving up Black Cloud’s reputation for anchoring birds. For 28-gauge waterfowl hunters who want premium non-toxic performance, this shotgun shell from Federal is built for exactly that.
