Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Speed-Shok Steel approved for waterfowl hunting?
Yes. Federal Speed-Shok uses non-toxic steel shot, which is fully approved for waterfowl hunting under U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service regulations. Steel shot is required for all migratory waterfowl hunting in the United States, and Speed-Shok meets those requirements in every load configuration.
What choke should I use with steel shot loads like Speed-Shok?
For steel shot, it is generally recommended to use an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke — no tighter than Modified. Because steel doesn't compress like lead, using a Full choke with steel loads can damage your barrel or choke tube. Always verify that your shotgun and choke are rated for steel shot before use.
How does #2 steel shot compare to other shot sizes for ducks and geese?
#2 steel shot is one of the most versatile sizes for waterfowl hunting, offering a balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy. It is well-suited for medium to large ducks at typical decoy distances (20–45 yards) and can handle smaller geese. For larger Canada geese at longer ranges, consider stepping up to BB or BBB steel shot.
