Federal's Black Cloud FS Steel ammunition represents a leap forward in shotgun shell technology, designed to meet the demands of serious waterfowl hunters. Central to its innovation is the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad system. This advanced wad features redesigned rear-deploying petals and strategically placed side-mounted vents, engineered for optimal payload separation at just the right moment. The result? Consistently dense and lethal patterns that maximize your effectiveness in the field.
The Black Cloud FS Steel combines a unique blend of 40% FLITESTOPPER steel pellets with 60% Premium steel pellets. This combination ensures not only tighter shot groupings but also creates larger wound channels, crucial for ethical hunting by ensuring quick takedowns.
Underpinning this performance is Federal's Catalyst lead-free primer coupled with a clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant. These elements work together to significantly reduce barrel residue, maintaining firearm cleanliness and reliability even after numerous shots.
Moreover, each shell comes equipped with a black nickel head that resists corrosion—an essential feature when operating in wet environments typical of waterfowl habitats. To further protect against moisture intrusion under extreme conditions, Federal has incorporated a sealed crimp design.
The Black Cloud FS Steel stands ready to deliver unparalleled consistency and power across both ported and standard waterfowl chokes—a testament to Federal’s commitment to quality and innovation in every cartridge they produce.
