Description
You just want to snag a few doves and call it a day. You don’t want to pollute the beautiful little patch of earth you call your hunting grounds. When you choose Federal Upland Steel 12 Gauge ammunition for your upcoming small game hunt, you’ll leave nothing scary behind except for small game ghosts.

rThis shell is loaded with a lighter shot column – one ounce even, which is why its high muzzle velocity of 1,375 doesn’t generate too much felt recoil. There are 422 pellets of #7.5 steel shot in a single ounce. Compare that to #7.5 lead shot, which is 350 pellets per ounce, and you’ll appreciate how this shell delivers such a thick pattern. It’s also a narrow pattern, as steel doesn’t deform under pressure like softer lead does. And because its muzzle velocity is a little hot, this shell does what it can to compensate for steel’s relatively lower density.
r
rThis nontoxic Minnesota-made hunting ammo is rigged out with clean-burning powder and reloadable hulls. Take it wherever lead shot is banned. Just don’t use it to shoot steel plates!
