Frequently Asked Questions
Is BB steel shot the right size for goose hunting?
Yes — BB steel shot is one of the most popular choices for Canada geese and other large waterfowl. The larger pellet diameter retains energy well at distance, and steel BB delivers the penetration needed to cleanly harvest big birds. For smaller ducks at close range, a smaller shot size like #2 or #3 may be more appropriate, but BB is a versatile option when you're expecting large birds or longer shots.
Can I shoot Federal Speed-Shok Steel through any 12-gauge shotgun?
Federal Speed-Shok is steel shot, which requires your shotgun to be rated for steel loads. Most modern 12-gauge shotguns are steel-shot compatible, but you should verify in your owner's manual. Additionally, use an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke — avoid Full choke with steel shot, as it can damage your barrel or choke tube. Many manufacturers offer chokes specifically rated for steel shot for best results.
How does the redesigned Speed-Shok formula reduce fouling?
Federal engineers reformulated Speed-Shok with a fast-burning, clean propellant that leaves significantly less carbon and powder residue in the barrel, action, and gas ports compared to older steel shotshell loads. Combined with a high-performance primer for more complete combustion, the result is a load that cycles more reliably in semi-automatic shotguns and requires less time scrubbing after a hunt.
