The Federal Black Cloud FS brings serious waterfowl performance to the 20 gauge. Built on years of Federal's expertise in waterfowl ammunition, these 3-inch shells pack 1 ounce of steel shot designed to drop ducks and geese at ranges most rivals can't touch.
The real difference here is the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, which uses rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents to separate the shot payload at just the right moment for tight, dense patterns. Whether your gun runs ported or standard waterfowl chokes, you'll get consistent results without having to guess which load works best. The shot itself blends 40 percent FLITESTOPPER steel pellets with 60 percent premium steel for dense patterns and larger wound channels.
These shells don't back down in the worst weather. The black nickel-plated brass head resists corrosion, and the sealed crimp keeps moisture out when you're sitting in cold, wet conditions. Federal's clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant keeps barrel residue down, which means less cleaning between trips.
For smaller ducks and when you need tighter pattern density, #4 steel works better than larger shot sizes. Hunters often mix shot sizes throughout the morning depending on distance and bird type, making #4 a solid choice when you expect birds working close to the decoys or need that extra pellet count for reliability.
These are designed for 20 gauge shotguns with 3-inch chambers. They'll work with any 20 gauge shotgun that's rated for 3-inch shells and steel shot. Always check your shotgun's specs before shooting any ammunition.
Number 4 steel offers denser patterns with more pellets downrange, working well for closer shots and smaller ducks like teal over decoys. Number 2 shot carries more energy at distance for larger ducks and geese. Many hunters use both, switching based on conditions and expected bird size during the morning.
Yes, the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is designed to perform consistently with both ported and standard waterfowl chokes. You get reliable patterns either way, which is a major advantage if you're swapping guns or testing different setups.
The clean-burning propellant and lead-free Catalyst primer do cut down on residue significantly compared to some other loads. You'll still clean your barrel after hunting, but you won't find the same amount of buildup.
