High-Velocity Performance for Waterfowl
The Federal Ron Roberts Raptor Steel is loaded to a fast 1400 fps, giving pellets the speed needed to reach birds at longer distances with more retained energy. This high velocity is especially beneficial when pass-shooting geese or hunting over large spreads where birds may be further out. The combination of speed and the heavy 1-3/8 oz payload results in dense patterns with strong knockdown power, helping hunters achieve clean, ethical harvests even on tough shots.
Optimized #3 Steel Shot for Ducks and Geese
The #3 steel shot size used in the Ron Roberts Raptor load offers an excellent balance between pellet count and individual pellet mass. This makes it highly effective on both ducks and larger geese. The #3 shot provides enough mass to penetrate feathers and reach vital organs on big Canada geese while still delivering the pattern density needed for smaller ducks at typical hunting ranges. This versatility makes the RRS138 3 a great all-around choice for mixed-bag waterfowl hunts.
