Federal Raptor Steel 20 Gauge Shotshells, 1oz #4 Steel Shot

The Federal Raptor Steel shotshell (part no. RRS209 4) is a Federal Ammunition waterfowl load developed with Rob Roberts and his team specifically to extract the tightest, most efficient patterns from Rob Roberts Raptor Series chokes. Each 3-inch, 20 gauge shell carries a 1 ounce charge of #4 steel shot, pairing a heavy payload and high shot count with velocities selected to put more pellets on target. Federal builds the load around its high-performance primers and clean-burning propellant to deliver lethal, consistent shot strings through the advanced Raptor choke design, making it a strong option for waterfowl hunters who have already invested in a Raptor choke tube.
