These shells are good. I haven't had any problems shooting them not like others have reported. Compared to the Remingtons and Winchester shells I haven't seen much difference in performance. The difference I did notice is the tighter pattern the shot holds when it hits the birds.

        Comments about Federal Premium Black Cloud 3" Loads, 12-gauge:

        I Bought the Black Cloud hoping to get better killing performance for my sons 20 guage. We could not be happier with the results!!! I have also started using it in my 12 guage. We are sitting here writing this review while breaking from our morning hunt. It's Nov. 13th and we killed 2 geese and 6 mallards this morning, all ranges from 30 - 60 yards no cripples or lost ducks. We are both using #2 shot in our Mossbergs with full chokes, mine is a Carlson extended choke and my sons is using the factory Mossberg choke. We are running out of ammo and will going to buy more today :)

            Comments about Federal Premium Black Cloud 3" Loads, 12-gauge:

            This is a good product. It hits harder than conventional steel, but not as good as lead did. I still prefer Federal Ultrashok. It's cheaper than Black Cloud and seems to be just as effective.

                Kills ducks and geese at 40-60 yards with no regard for their feelings.
