• The payload weighs 1 1/4 oz, putting a full pellet count downrange for dense, consistent patterns.
• The shot size is BB, balancing pellet count against per-pellet energy for the target this load is built for.
• The shot material is Steel Shot, a choice that shapes pattern density, downrange energy, and choke wear.

• Cost works out to about $1.51 per round, keeping practice sessions affordable.
• The box ships at approximately 2.82 lbs, handy for planning shipping costs on a bulk order.
• Black Cloud FS shells use Federal’s FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, which deploys later than a standard wad, separating from the steel shot for denser, more consistent patterns through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes.
