Federal Premium Black Cloud FS 28 Gauge 3-inch #3 steel shot shells (brand part no. PWBX285 3) bring Federal’s proven waterfowl shell design down into the increasingly popular sub-gauge lineup. Federal Ammunition builds Black Cloud around reliable performance in a consistent load, pairing a 3/4-ounce payload of #3 steel shot with the 3-inch magnum hull the 28 gauge needs to carry a genuine waterfowl-weight charge. For hunters who want to run a lighter, easier-carrying 28-gauge gun in the blind without giving up a real steel-shot waterfowl load, this shell delivers that combination. This is shotgun shells built for waterfowl hunters ready to try the 28 gauge.
