The Federal Speed-Shok Steel 28 Gauge 2.75-inch #6 (brand part no. WF2836) brings serious waterfowl capability to the sub-gauge crowd, throwing 5/8 ounce of #6 steel shot — roughly 197 pellets — at 1,350 fps. Federal Ammunition redesigned Speed-Shok around its Catalyst lead-free primer and fast-burning powders, dramatically cutting residue while keeping velocities optimized to fold ducks and geese cleanly. The all-steel payload meets non-toxic requirements everywhere waterfowl are hunted, and the light 28-gauge platform keeps swings fast and recoil friendly. Among shotgun shells, this Speed-Shok load favors waterfowlers running 28-gauge autoloaders and doubles over decoys.
