Federal Premium Black Cloud Steel, 12 Gauge 3½"-

New Black Cloud FS Steel uses the FLITECONTROL wad to provide more downrange velocity and longer range capability for steel shot users. The FLITECONTROL wad was introduced in the turkey hunting world and has been proven to provide a distinct advantage over standard loads. This unique technology is now available for waterfowl hunters in an entirely custom configuration that introduces a whole new steel shot type—FS Steel. FS Steel features a cutting edge that increases terminal damage on birds and actually shows a wound channel when shot into ballistic gelatin. When staged with standard steel shot in a 40/60 charge, respectively, patterns are more consistent and devastating than standard steel. According to Brand Manager Rick Stoeckel, “We’ve been looking for a way to improve steel shot performance for waterfowl hunters and we found it. The two clear advantages of Black Cloud are: one, the unique edge of FS Steel creates a deadly would channel and two, the FLITECONTROL wad increases the downrange velocity and overall energy of the payload. We’re also seeing more uniform patterns that are more forgiving. It’s a whole new league for steel shot.”
