Who This Is For
Federal Speed-Shok Steel 16 Gauge is ideal for waterfowl hunters who prefer the 16-gauge platform and need a non-toxic steel shot load that meets federal migratory bird hunting regulations. It's also a great choice for upland hunters on public land where steel shot is required, and for shooters who want a cleaner-burning load that keeps their firearm's action and bore in better condition between cleanings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Speed-Shok Steel approved for waterfowl hunting?
Yes. Federal Speed-Shok Steel uses non-toxic steel shot, which is fully approved for migratory waterfowl hunting in the United States in compliance with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service regulations. It is an excellent choice for duck and goose hunting wherever non-toxic shot is required.
Is my 16-gauge shotgun safe to use with steel shot loads?
Most modern 16-gauge shotguns are rated for steel shot, but you should always verify with your firearm's manufacturer before use. Steel shot is harder than lead and can cause damage in older, tightly choked barrels not designed for it. Use an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke at most when shooting steel, and never use Full choke with steel shot loads.
What is #4 steel shot best used for?
#4 steel shot is a versatile, mid-range pellet size well-suited for ducks such as mallards, teal, and similar-sized birds at moderate distances. The larger pellets carry sufficient energy downrange to deliver clean kills while still providing a dense enough pattern for effective coverage. It is one of the most popular steel shot sizes among waterfowl hunters.
