Federal Black Cloud FS 12 Gauge 3.5in #2 Shot

Federal’s Black Cloud FS line in 12 gauge (brand part no. PWBX1342) loads a full 3.5-inch magnum shell with 1-1/2 ounces of #2 FlightStopper Steel, giving waterfowl hunters a versatile, mid-sized pellet in Federal’s heaviest magnum hull. Federal starts every Premium load with finely inspected primers and clean-burning propellants formulated to its own stringent specifications, then pairs the FlightStopper Steel payload with the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad to deliver dense, consistent patterns at extended waterfowl range. The #2 shot size suits a mixed bag of ducks and geese, splitting the difference between an all-around pellet and the largest goose-class sizes. For 12 gauge waterfowl hunters who want maximum payload and a versatile pellet size, this shotgun shell is built for the blind.
