Overview
Built for waterfowl hunters using Rob Roberts Raptor Series chokes, this 12 gauge steel load is designed to work with the choke system’s patterning focus. It combines a 1 3/8 oz payload of No. 2 shot with a 1400 fps muzzle velocity and a 3-inch shotshell length, giving hunters a purpose-driven option for patterned shot strings. Federal’s collaboration with Rob Roberts centers on pairing heavy payloads and high shot counts with selected velocities, making this a specialized load rather than a general-purpose shell. Packaged in 25-round boxes, it is aimed at hunters who want a dedicated setup for the field and are already running the Raptor choke platform.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for Rob Roberts Raptor Series chokes, so it is not a general-purpose waterfowl load.
- The 3 in. shell length and 1 3/8 oz payload may not suit hunters looking for lighter-recoiling or shorter-shell options.
- Shot size 2 is a deliberate choice for waterfowl, but it is a narrower fit than mixed-species or all-around loads.
- Pack quantity is 25 rounds, which may be less convenient for hunters wanting a larger case count.
