Yes, it is just a standard steel shot but has a flight control wad. I shot my sx3 in both a full and modified choke with Kent and had blown and off center patterns. I switched to black cloud with my modified choke and have great patterns with it out to 50 - 60 yards. A lot of people make the mistake of using full chokes or wad stripping chokes with BC and this is a huge mistake. The restriction pulls the wad away immediately upon leaving the barrell and defeats it's intended purpose. The FS steel shot in the black clouds also penetrates deeper due to it's cutting edge. I read some pretty interesting independent tests on it and they really seem to penetrate better than standard steel.
