Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Speed-Shok Steel approved for waterfowl hunting?
Yes. Federal Speed-Shok uses non-toxic steel shot, which complies with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service regulations requiring non-toxic shot for all migratory waterfowl hunting. It is a fully approved and legal load for duck and goose hunting throughout the United States.
What choke should I use with steel shot shells?
When shooting steel shot, it is strongly recommended to use a choke rated for steel — typically an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke. Full chokes and tightly constricted aftermarket chokes are generally not safe for use with steel shot, as the harder pellets can damage the choke tube. Always consult your firearm and choke manufacturer's guidelines before use.
What is #4 steel shot best used for, and what range is it effective at?
#4 steel shot is a versatile waterfowl load well-suited for medium-sized ducks such as mallards, pintails, and similar birds. It performs best at ranges of 20 to 40 yards, offering a good balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy. For longer shots or larger birds like Canada geese, consider stepping up to a larger shot size such as #2 or BB.
