Federal Speed-Shok Steel 3" #2 Shot 7/8 oz. 20 Gauge Ammo - 25 Rounds

Shotguns continue to be the most popular sporting and defense firearms in the world, thanks to their versatility as well as their acceptance as being the most allowed firearm (with various restrictions) to be legally owned in the world. For those who find the 12 gauge to have just a bit too much recoil, the 20 gauge offers a wonderful alternative with reduced recoil and, at close to medium ranges, virtually identical results. Due to environmental restrictions, lead shot has been replaced by steel when used for hunting water fowl to prevent lead contamination in the nation’s waterways.

This #2 shot, 7/8 ounce, 3” shell by Federal fires up to 110 individual .15” steel pellets at up to 1300 feet per second. Not quite but almost 100+ steel BBs. Because steel is lighter than lead, more shot per ounce and greater muzzle velocity is possible, which offers greater knock down potential, especially at close range.

Steel shot shells by Federal come with improved wadding to protect the barrel from scouring by the harder shot: bird hunters’ primary concern when faced with the anti-lead restrictions. Additionally, the shells by Federal are boxer primed and reloadable to those who handload their own custom shells.
