Sourced from Federal’s affiliate company, HEVI-Shot, HEVI Bismuth shot is 22 percent denser than steel, delivering more lethal energy downrange. Launched by the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, bismuth pellets pattern consistently, and are alloyed and cast in the USA.
Hi-Bird with Fiber Wad – Hi-Bird Fiber Wad’s cellulose-based over-powder wad construction helps minimize plastic left in the field with the same great performance as the original. It’s perfect for the field or preserve hunting situations. Its available in two 12-gauge, 2 3/4-inch options.
Premium Power-Shok Buckshot 1 Buck – The new Premium Buckshot 1 buck offering provides precision performance. Its payload of 16 copper-plated pellets produces tight patterns for more hits and better stopping power on predators, hogs and more. A Power-Shok 1 buck load is also new for 2023.
