Federal WF1421 Speed-Shok Waterfowl 12 Gauge 3" 1 1/4 oz 1 Shot 25 Per Box/ 10 Cs

Federal Speed-Shok Waterfowl in 12 gauge 3-inch delivers the clean, hard-hitting performance waterfowl hunters demand. Built with a lead-free Catalyst primer and fast-burning powder, this steel shot load cuts residue buildup in your barrel and action—meaning less maintenance between hunts and more time focused on the birds. The 1 1/4 oz payload of #1 shot is purpose-built for ducks and geese at distances where #1 pellets earn their reputation for clean, ethical harvests.

Speed-Shok ammunition is engineered around a simple principle: consistent ignition and optimized velocity produce reliable downrange performance. The Catalyst primer fires predictably in cold, wet conditions you'll encounter on the marsh, while the fast-burning propellant reaches 1450 fps with minimal fouling. That combination matters when you're working a duck blind before dawn or pushing late into the season.

Each box contains 25 rounds of 12 gauge 3-inch shells loaded to the same spec, so you can pattern your shotgun with confidence and shoot the same load on opening day. Federal's steel shot has long held a reputation for consistency, and Speed-Shok brings that pedigree forward with modern, cleaner-burning technology.
