Fed Speed Shok 12ga 3" #4 25/250

Federal Speed-Shok 12 gauge 3" #4 steel shot is purpose-built ammunition for waterfowl hunters who demand clean, reliable performance in the field. This 3-inch magnum load pairs Federal's commitment to cleanliness with the pattern control waterfowlers need to consistently connect on ducks and geese. Whether you're setting up over decoys at first light or working a flooded timber stand, Speed-Shok delivers the consistency and low-maintenance operation that keeps you hunting longer without excessive fouling.

The fast-burning powder formula is the standout feature here. By burning more completely than conventional propellants, it leaves substantially less carbon residue in your barrel and action—that means fewer cleaning sessions after a day on the water and less downtime between hunts. Federal pairs this clean-burning powder with their high-performance primer system, engineered for the most complete and uniform ignition possible. The result is round-to-round consistency you can count on when conditions matter.

Speed-Shok loads are optimized for velocity and pattern performance across a range of choke constrictions. That velocity optimization isn't hype; it translates to flatter trajectories and denser patterns at typical waterfowl ranges. Sold in convenient 25-round boxes with 10 boxes per case, this is practical ammunition for serious waterfowlers who shoot enough to appreciate both the performance and the reduced maintenance burden.
