The Federal Speed-Shok 16 Gauge #4 Steel Shot (part no. WF1684) loads 15/16 ounces of #4 steel shot in a 16 gauge hull, 2.75 inches long, built for hunters who need a compliant non-toxic option. Federal Ammunition pairs a high-performance primer with fast-burning powder in Speed-Shok to cut residue and keep velocity consistent, the combination that actually puts steel shot on target. Steel shot gives this load the non-toxic payload waterfowl hunting requires by federal law. In shotgun shells for waterfowl hunters, this is a load built for exactly that job.
