Deep Dive

Overview

This Federal Speed-Shok BB load is designed for waterfowl hunters who need dependable performance on ducks and geese, particularly when birds are larger, tougher, or flying fast in open environments. The 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge shell allows for a heavier 1 3/8 oz steel payload, while BB shot provides a strong balance of pellet count and penetration. With a muzzle velocity of approximately 1550 fps, this load helps shorten lead on crossing shots and maintains effective energy at common waterfowl distances. It is well-suited for modern semi-automatic and pump shotguns rated for 3 1/2 inch steel loads and performs reliably in cold mornings, wet blinds, and late-season conditions.

History and Development

Federal Ammunition has long been recognized for producing reliable, American-made shotshells for hunters across all experience levels. The Speed-Shok line was created to deliver high-velocity steel shot loads that combine consistent performance with practical affordability, making them a popular choice for high-volume waterfowl seasons. The WF133 BB load reflects Federal’s focus on efficiency and real-world hunting performance. By pairing a fast-burning, clean propellant with a dependable primer and a proven wad system, Federal engineered this cartridge to deliver uniform ignition, reduced fouling, and consistent patterns. The BB shot size was selected to provide versatility across both duck and goose hunting, offering reliable knockdown power without sacrificing pattern density.
