Federal Black Cloud FS High Velocity is a waterfowl-oriented steel shotshell designed to deliver higher velocity and consistent patterns for field use. These 12 gauge, 3-inch shells carry a 1 1/8 ounce steel payload and are built with a FLITECONTROL FLEX wad to promote pattern density and separation. The load uses a Catalyst lead-free primer, a clean-burning temperature-stable propellant, and a plated black nickel head with a sealed crimp for corrosion resistance and moisture protection.
