Federal Speed-Shok 12ga BB 2-3/4″ Steel Shot 25rd

Description

Federal Speed-Shok has earned its reputation by delivering consistent performance in the field where it counts. This BB load puts the emphasis on speed and reliability with a 1500 fps muzzle velocity from a standard 2-3/4" hull. At that velocity, the 1-1/8 ounce payload of round steel pellets delivers the knockdown authority needed for goose hunting and larger waterfowl, especially when you keep birds in range and pattern your gun beforehand.

Speed-Shok's Clean-Burning Design

The redesigned Speed-Shok uses a Catalyst lead-free primer paired with a fast-burning powder that leaves noticeably less residue in the barrel and action compared to older formulations. That means less time cleaning after a morning or afternoon in the marsh. The high-performance primer ensures consistent ignition every shot, which matters when you're dealing with cold, wet conditions where reliability can make the difference.

Why BB Shot Works for Your Hunting

BB pellets deliver good penetration and retain energy better than smaller shot sizes, which makes them a solid choice for big geese when you can control your range. The uniformly round pellets from Federal create denser, more predictable patterns downrange. Factor in 81 BB pellets per shell with a density of 8 g/cc, and you've got the tools to make clean harvests. The high-density plastic wad with a gas-sealing flange improves efficiency, helping you get the most from every shot.

What to Know Before You Load Up

This load works best on geese and larger waterfowl when you're hunting within 25 to 35 yards depending on bird size. Steel shot patterns tighter than lead, so knowing your gun's choke and pattern is essential. Also confirm your shotgun is rated for steel shot before you run these through it.
