Federal WF1456 Speed-Shok Waterfowl ammunition is a 12 gauge steel shot load purpose-built for hunting ducks and geese. This 2.75" shell delivers 1 1/8 oz of #6 shot, a versatile choice for waterfowl at varied distances. Speed-Shok rounds are loaded with a Catalyst high-performance primer and faster-burning powder formulation that reduces residue buildup in your barrel and action—a real advantage when you're working hard all season.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you can stock up for opener or run a full day without rationing shells.
