Federal Black Cloud FS Steel 12ga 3.5" BBB Shotshells

Superior Waterfowl Performance

Federal's Black Cloud FS Steel shotshells represent the pinnacle of modern waterfowl ammunition engineering. These 12-gauge 3.5-inch shells are purpose-built for serious duck and goose hunters who demand consistent, dense patterns and reliable performance in the field.

FLITECONTROL FLEX Wad Technology

The heart of Black Cloud FS Steel is Federal's innovative FLITECONTROL FLEX wad system. This redesigned wad features rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents that work in concert to separate the payload from the wad at precisely the right moment. The result is exceptional pattern density and consistency through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes—a significant advantage when your shot opportunity is measured in seconds.

Premium Steel Payload

Each shell contains a carefully balanced mix of 40 percent FLITESTOPPER steel pellets combined with 60 percent Premium steel shot. This combination delivers the dense patterns you need for clean, ethical kills while maximizing the size of wound channels for reliable bird recovery.

Clean, Reliable Performance

Federal equipped these shells with a Catalyst lead-free primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant. The result is significantly reduced barrel residue, which means less cleaning and more time in the field. The black nickel head inhibits corrosion, and the sealed crimp defeats moisture in extreme hunting conditions.
