Black Cloud 28 Gauge – More than a decade ago, Black Cloud changed the definition of performance for steel waterfowl loads. That revolution continues today with Black Cloud 28-gauge offerings that redefine the capability of sub-gauges. Like all Black Cloud loads, they use the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad to deliver better pattern density and consistency through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes.
