Black Cloud FLITECONTROL FLEX

ANOKA, Minnesota - January 26, 2017 - Federal Premium Ammunition is pleased to announce it has redesigned its industry-leading Black Cloud line of waterfowl ammunition. Now equipped with the new FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, the improved loads deliver better pattern density and consistency through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes. Shipments are currently being delivered to dealers.

The wad’s redesigned rear-opening petals are engineered to deploy through ported chokes that reduce muzzle pressure, and side-mounted vents stimulate the payload for separation from the wad at the ideal moment for dense, deadly patterns. Plus, the efficient Catalyst lead-free primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant significantly decrease residue in the barrel.

Features & Benefits
• Rear-opening FLITECONTROL FLEX wad provides the tightest patterns possible through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes
• Payload of 40 percent FLITESTOPPER steel pellets and 60 percent Premium steel for dense patterns and larger wound channels
• 100 percent FLITESTOPPER payload in Close Range loads
• Catalyst lead-free primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant drastically reduce residue
• Black nickel head inhibits corrosion
• Sealed crimp defeats moisture in extreme conditions
