Federal Premium Ultra Steel 20 gauge shells combine proven waterfowl performance with a double-stack payload that takes the guesswork out of hunting different species and ranges. The wad design is what makes these different from other steel loads. FLITECONTROL FLEX uses rear-opening petals and side vents that release the shot at precisely the right moment, tightening your patterns and extending your effective range to 40-50 yards depending on your choke and conditions.
The zinc-plated steel shot in these shells resists corrosion and improves pellet consistency, meaning shot after shot performs the same. The 1400 feet per second velocity is no accident either. Federal's engineers dialed in this specific speed as the sweet spot for balancing pellet energy against pattern efficiency, so you get the knock-down power without sacrificing the dense core patterns you need when ducks are committed.
The #3 and #5 combination gives you smaller pellets that create wider pattern coverage and larger pellets that penetrate better at distance. This blend eliminates the need to guess which size works best for your particular hunt or swap boxes mid-season. Whether mallards, teal, or pintails show up, you've got the right load ready.
These shells produce clean-burning results thanks to the propellant and primer combination Federal uses, meaning less fouling in your barrel and more time spent hunting instead of cleaning. If you shoot premium ammunition for serious waterfowl season, Ultra Steel deserves a spot in your blind.
The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is a rear-opening design with lengthened fins and side vents that release the shot at the optimal moment for tighter patterns. This technology works with both standard and ported waterfowl chokes, making it versatile across different shotgun setups. The result is denser patterns at distance, which translates to cleaner, more ethical kills on waterfowl.
The combination of larger #3 pellets and smaller #5 pellets gives you versatility in a single box. The #3s deliver better penetration on birds at distance, while the #5s create fuller pattern density at closer ranges. This means you don't have to swap ammunition if ducks are working at different distances, and it performs well on multiple waterfowl species.
These shells are designed for 20 gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells. As long as your firearm accepts 3-inch 20 gauge shells and is in good working condition, Ultra Steel will cycle and perform reliably. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before loading any ammunition.
Federal Ultra Steel is optimized for effective ranges up to 40-50 yards depending on your choke, shotgun, and conditions. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad creates the dense core patterns needed for ethical takes at these distances. Anything beyond 50 yards pushes the limits of what's considered responsible waterfowl hunting.
