Federal Ammunition redesigns Speed-Shok waterfowl loads

Federal Ammunition overhauls its Speed-Shok waterfowl loads, announcing a revamped lineup including 11 loads in several sizes.

The Speed-Shok boasts Federal Ammunition’s Catalyst primer which delivers a consistent, reliable ignition. In addition, the revamped loads offer faster burning powders that aim to reduce residue in the barrel and action. The loads deliver “optimized velocities” capable of taking down birds in flight.

“Speed kills ducks and geese,” Federal said in a news release. “Now it kills even cleaner with redesigned Federal Speed-Shok.”

Available in both sub-gauge and high-velocity 12-gauge loads, the Speed-Shok comes in over 10 flavors to include:

• 10 gauge 3 1/2” 1 1/2 oz.
• 12 gauge 3 1/2″ 1 3/8 oz.
