They're short in stature but long in performance. Federal Premium's new Shorty shotshell loads are 1¾" shells loaded with either No. 8 shot, No. 4 buckshot or a rifled slug, depending on your use. We stopped by the Federal booth during 2019 SHOT Show's Industry Day at the Range to get the long and short of this exciting new entry. Learn more in the video.
