Frequently Asked Questions
What birds and hunting situations is Federal Speed-Shok #3 steel best suited for?
#3 steel shot is a versatile choice for duck hunting, offering a balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy. It performs well on medium to large ducks such as mallards, pintails, and gadwalls at ranges inside 40 yards. It can also work on close-range Canada geese, though dedicated goose hunters may prefer larger shot like #BB or #2.
Is Federal Speed-Shok steel shot safe to use in all 12-gauge shotguns?
Steel shot should only be fired through shotgun barrels and chokes rated for steel. Most modern shotguns with modified or more open chokes are approved for steel. Avoid using steel shot through extra-full or full chokes, and always consult your firearm's owner manual before using non-toxic steel loads. The 3" shell also requires a chamber that accepts 3" shells.
Why does Speed-Shok leave less residue than other steel loads?
Federal redesigned Speed-Shok with a fast-burning, clean-burning propellant that reduces carbon fouling in the barrel and action significantly compared to older steel shot formulas. Combined with a high-performance primer for more complete powder ignition, the result is a load that's easier to clean after a long day in the field and less likely to cause function issues in semi-automatic shotguns.
