High-Velocity, Non-Toxic Precision for the Sub-Gauge Waterfowler

For the hunter who prefers the lightweight handling and sheer challenge of a .410 shotgun in a waterfowl blind, dropping ducks requires a cartridge built purely for speed and tight patterns. The Federal Speed-Shok Waterfowl .410 bore delivers exactly that. By pushing a specialized 3/8 oz payload of precision steel shot at a blistering 1400 fps, it drastically reduces your required forward lead and ensures maximum energy transfer upon impact, effectively knocking birds cleanly out of the sky.

Because steel is significantly lighter than lead, maximizing velocity is the key to sub-gauge effectiveness. To achieve this, Federal has completely redesigned the Speed-Shok line. It now features their proprietary high-performance Catalyst™ primer and a specialized fast-burning powder blend. Not only does this combination guarantee totally consistent ignition in the freezing, damp conditions typical of waterfowl hunting conditions, but it also leaves drastically less residue in your barrel and action.

Loaded into a moisture-resistant 3-inch hull, this #6 steel shot is completely non-toxic and 100% compliant with environmental regulations regarding waterfowl hunting over waterways. Whether you are introducing a junior shooter to the duck swamp with a low-recoil setup, or simply challenging yourself on fast-flying teal and mallards in flooded timber, the Speed-Shok .410 offers reliable, clean, and effective performance.

• Optimized Velocity: Pushed at a rapid 1400 fps to flatten out trajectories, increase kinetic energy, and shorten required leads on fast-crossing birds.

• Non-Toxic Steel Shot: Packed with #6 precision steel pellets, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations for hunting over wetlands and waterways.

• Clean-Burning Propellant: The newly reformulated powder drastically reduces fouling and unburnt carbon, keeping your shotgun's action cycling smoothly in the field.

• Catalyst™ Primer: Provides ultra-reliable, hot, and consistent ignition even in freezing temperatures or driving rain.

• Sub-Gauge Effectiveness: Carefully engineered to maximize the performance of the .410 bore without generating punishing recoil.
