Who This Is For
Federal Speed-Shok Steel is purpose-built for dedicated waterfowl hunters pursuing ducks, geese, and other migratory birds over water or in open fields. Whether you're a seasoned hunter running heavy pass-shooting loads or a weekend warrior working a flooded timber spread, the #2 shot size and 3" shell length give you the versatility and knockdown power to handle a wide variety of waterfowl at moderate to extended ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Speed-Shok Steel safe to use in my semi-automatic shotgun?
Yes, Federal Speed-Shok Steel is designed to function reliably in semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns rated for steel shot. Always verify that your shotgun's barrel is rated for steel shot use — most modern waterfowl-specific shotguns are — and use a choke constriction of Modified or more open (Improved Cylinder is ideal) when shooting steel to avoid damaging your choke tube.
What is #2 steel shot best used for, and what range is it effective at?
#2 steel shot is one of the most versatile waterfowl loads available, offering a balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy that works well on mallards, teal, pintail, and light geese. In a 3" shell at approximately 1,550 fps, #2 steel is effective at ranges up to 40–45 yards. For larger geese or longer passing shots, consider stepping up to BBB or T shot sizes.
How does Speed-Shok reduce residue compared to standard steel loads?
Federal redesigned the Speed-Shok line with a fast-burning, clean-burning propellant that leaves significantly less carbon fouling in the barrel, action, and gas ports compared to older steel shot formulations. The improved high-performance primer also promotes more complete powder combustion, which means less unburned powder residue and easier field cleaning after a long day of hunting.
