Federal Premium Ultra Steel Waterfowl Load

In a new load designed specifically for waterfowl hunting, Federal Ammunition has combined the technology of its FliteControl Flex wad with a special blend of its zinc-plated steel shot to produce tight patterns that have greater reach and improved lethality.

Available in both 12- and 20-ga. shotshells, the new load is available with traditional shot payloads comprised with up to 1¼ ozs. of No. 2 shot or double-stack payloads featuring varying sizes of shot.

The double-stack loads in particular are designed to blend small and large pellets to fill out the pattern while also delivering greater energy on target. Federal claims the double-stack shotshells are ideal for multi-species hunts.

Suggested retail price is $38 (20 gauge) or $43 (12 gauge) per 25-count box. For more information, visit federalpremium.com.
