Federal Black Cloud Close Range ammunition takes non-toxic steel loads to the next level of performance. Each load features FlightControl wads for tighter patterns. This round is engineered to put more pellets on targets in the 20-30 yard range zone achieving a full pattern within a very short distance. These loads are compromised of 100% FliteStopper steel loads for the most lethal payloads imaginable. These loads are ideal for hunting in timber or decoying waterfowl. Federal recommends using a non-ported choke tube. This will allow the uniquely shaped Black Cloud pellets and FlightControl wad to pass through the bore more smoothly, allowing for an even tighter downrange pattern.
