Frequently Asked Questions
Is #2 steel shot effective for duck and goose hunting?
#2 steel shot is a versatile and widely trusted choice for waterfowl hunting. It strikes an excellent balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it effective on ducks at moderate ranges and capable on smaller geese. For larger Canada geese at extended distances, stepping up to a heavier load or larger shot size may be beneficial, but for most duck hunting scenarios, #2 is a go-to option.
Can I shoot this steel load in any 20-gauge shotgun?
Steel shot requires a shotgun rated for steel or non-toxic shot use. Most modern 20-gauge shotguns are compatible, but you should always verify your barrel and choke are approved for steel shot use. Avoid using full chokes with steel shot, as the lack of pellet compression can cause dangerous pressure spikes. Use improved cylinder or modified chokes specifically rated for steel for best results and safe operation.
How does the clean-burning powder benefit me in the field?
Federal's fast-burning, low-residue propellant in Speed-Shok keeps fouling to a minimum inside your barrel and action. This is especially important for semi-automatic shotguns, where excessive carbon buildup can cause cycling failures during a hunt. Less residue means more reliable function through a full day of shooting and easier cleanup when you get back to camp or home.
