Federal's Black Cloud FS Steel delivers devastating waterfowl patterns with the advanced FliteControl Flex wad system. High-velocity 1-1/8oz #4 steel loads with clean-burning propellant and reduced barrel residue.
Federal's Black Cloud FS Steel represents the pinnacle of modern waterfowl ammunition engineering. These high-velocity 12-gauge 3-inch shells pack 1-1/8 ounces of premium steel shot in #4 pellet size, delivering the energy and pattern density serious waterfowlers demand.
The FliteControl Flex wad system is the heart of Black Cloud's performance. Its redesigned rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents ensure the shot column separates from the wad at precisely the right moment—creating the dense, consistent patterns that translate to clean, ethical kills through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes.
Each load combines 40 percent FliteStopper steel pellets with 60 percent premium steel shot. This intelligent blend maximizes pattern density while creating larger wound channels for reliable knockdown power.
Whether you're hunting over decoys or pass-shooting, Black Cloud FS Steel delivers the performance and reliability that define premium waterfowl ammunition.
