Black Cloud FS Steel ammunition puts decades of waterfowl-hunting expertise into every round. This 20 gauge load combines proven engineering with Federal's commitment to delivering results when it counts.
The Flitecontrol Flex wad is the real innovation here. Federal redesigned the rear-deploying petals and added side-mounted vents that let the wad separate from your shot at exactly the right moment. This means tighter, denser patterns downrange compared to conventional loads, and it works through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes. The wad sits heavier than traditional designs, so it carries about twice as far, keeping your payload more intact at longer distances.
Your shot load is engineered for lethality. It's a 40 percent Flitestopper steel and 60 percent Premium steel mix. Those Flitestopper pellets have an elliptical shape with a cutting ring around the perimeter, creating larger wound channels while the standard steel pellets ensure dense coverage. The 1oz payload of #2 shot at 1350 fps gives you the right balance for taking ducks at practical ranges.
The Catalyst lead-free primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant make a real difference. You'll notice less residue fouling your barrel compared to older waterfowl loads, which means semi-automatic shotguns cycle more reliably through your hunt. The plated head and sealed crimp protect against moisture and corrosion in tough conditions, and that matters when you're hunting early season in wet weather or grinding through a long day on the water.
Yes. The Flitecontrol Flex wad was specifically redesigned to work reliably through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes. Federal's solution lengthened the rear-deploying petals and added support gussets so they stay deployed consistently, even with the reduced muzzle pressure that comes from ported barrels. Side vents also allow for cleaner wad separation and more consistent patterns.
Flitestopper pellets are elliptically shaped with a cutting ring around the perimeter. This shape creates larger wound channels compared to round pellets, which increases lethality. The load mixes 40 percent Flitestopper with 60 percent Premium steel pellets. The mix delivers both the penetration and pattern density you need, with Flitestopper pellets tending toward the outside of the pattern for maximum cutting effect.
The Catalyst lead-free primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant both contribute to reduced fouling. Early steel loads produced more residue, which could cause reliability issues in semi-automatic shotguns. Federal engineered these components specifically to cut residue buildup, so your gun cycles cleaner and more consistently through the day.
Black Cloud FS Steel performs best from in-close to around 40 yards. Steel shot loses energy faster than lead and begins running out of steam at 50 yards, so expect best results within 40 yards. The Flitecontrol Flex wad helps patterns stay together longer downrange, which extends your effective range compared to standard steel loads.
