Federal Premium Black Cloud TSS 12 Gauge Shotshells

Federal Premium Black Cloud TSS 12-Gauge Shotshells

The Ultimate Waterfowl Hunting Ammunition

For waterfowl hunters who demand uncompromising performance, the Federal Premium Black Cloud TSS 12-Gauge Shotshells represent the pinnacle of shotshell technology. By combining the revolutionary Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) with Federal’s patented FliteControl Flex wad system, these shells deliver devastating pattern density, extended range, and lethal stopping power that outperforms traditional steel and lead loads.

Unmatched Ballistic Performance

The secret to Black Cloud TSS’s effectiveness lies in its advanced engineering:

• Tungsten Super Shot (TSS)

With a density nearly twice that of steel, TSS maintains exceptional velocity and energy at extended ranges. This allows hunters to use smaller shot sizes (#7 or #9) that deliver more pellets in the pattern while still providing deep penetration.

• FliteControl Flex Wad Technology

This innovative wad design protects shot from deformation and maintains optimal shot string length, producing incredibly tight, consistent patterns that maximize hits on target.

• Razor-Edged Flitestopper Pellets

The unique shot geometry creates cutting edges that enhance terminal performance, ensuring quick, ethical kills even on tough, late-season birds.

Engineered for Extreme Conditions

Federal Premium Black Cloud TSS 12 Gauge Shotshells are engineered to deliver superior performance in the most demanding conditions. Designed with all-weather reliability in mind, their waterproof construction ensures consistent ignition even in rain, sleet, or snow—making them a dependable choice for waterfowl hunters. These shells are also optimized for use with both factory and aftermarket choke tubes, ensuring tight patterns and versatility across various shotgun setups. Additionally, advanced propellants reduce felt recoil while still delivering maximum ballistic performance, offering a more comfortable shooting experience without compromising power
