Federal Ammo
Federal: Premium Ammunition
The Federal Premium lineup of shotshells and cartridges may be the industry’s most diverse. Whether you’re a waterfowler, big-game hunter, weekend clay buster, carry for self-defense or addicted to long-range, the company has a load tailored for you.
Federal is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of sporting ammunition today. Shooters know its products are reliable and perform—facts that have allowed the company to thrive for nearly 100 years. The longevity and reputation seemed far from certain in the beginning, though.
There’s no denying the company was founded, and remains headquartered, in Anoka, MN, although opinions differ as to the people—or person—and precise date that should be cited. Federal Cartridge and Machine Company was established on Sept. 15, 1916, Federal Cartridge Company came in 1918 and Federal Cartridge Corporation followed in 1922.
Federal Ammunition History
Brothers Louis and Harry Sherman, who both had experience working in the ammo industry, were behind the initial 1916 effort. Their intent was to produce shotshells and bicycles. The owners hoped to land a lucrative military ammo contract during World War I, but two-wheelers remained on the schedule—a distraction that may have contributed to the company’s lack of success.
The first shotshell came off the assembly line in January 1917, but it did little to aid the fledgling business. Reorganization under the Federal Cartridge Company name came the next year. The Sherman brothers abandoned most of the management duties to the staff shortly thereafter and bankruptcy followed in 1920.
Rebirth Of Greatness
A group of local investors purchased the machinery and plant in 1922 and named the company Federal Cartridge Corporation. Charles L. Horn, a law degree-holding manager who had worked at American Ball and Shot in Minneapolis, was hired to resurrect the business. The company’s official history labels it a “refounding,” although that’s gross understatement considering Horn’s vision and ability to make it a reality.
The bicycle scheme was abandoned. Shotshell manufacturing was the sole focus, although part of Horn’s success was an ability to pedal the company’s wares in unusual places. In 1923 he built a distribution system that included grocery stores, barber shops and gas stations—an approach forced partly because the larger manufacturers had exclusive contracts with traditional retailers.
Sales were strong and Horn knew shotshells weren’t the only game in town. To expand the line, Federal purchased American Cartridge Company in 1924—at the time-based in Kansas City, MO—and moved production and machinery Minnesota. Rimfire cartridges were soon being sold under the Federal name.
History of Ammunition Innovation
By 1928 Federal’s ability to innovate became apparent. That year it offered loads with non-corrosive primers. Copper-coated .22 bullets followed in 1931 and the following year Federal offered high-velocity loads. In 1937 it brought a new bullet design to market, one aerodynamically tuned to reduce drag and improve accuracy—the company called it “Airlines.”
The concept is foreign to modern shooters, but shotshell were one made in a variety of colors—depending on manufacturer and supply—regardless of size, until 1960. That’s when Federal introduced a safety-enhancing color-code that has become industry standard. In 1973 the company was the first to introduce steel shot. Along the way the company has developed many of the innovations we rely on today, and most recently introduced the high-performance .224 Valkyrie in 2018—with a projectile that maintains supersonic speed past 1,300 yards.
The cutting-edge products coming out of the company’s research and development team may get the headlines, but the forward-thinking approach is standard-operating procedure in every department. Federal Premium’s history of helping non-profit organizations, for example, began in 1934. Despite the Great Depression and the fact that most profitable corporations ignored worthwhile causes, Federal defied the trend and became the first nationwide sponsor of 4-H camps. Since then it has helped the conservation efforts of the National Wild Turkey Federation, National Rifle Association, Ducks Unlimited, Safari Club International and many others.
Introductions & Changes
Federal didn’t manufacture its first centerfire rifle and handgun cartridges until 1963. The familiar Federal Premium line hit the shelves in 1977, the same year Charles Horn retired. His son, William, took over the helm and spearheaded many of the efforts that kept Federal one of the industry’s foremost leaders.
In 1985 Federal was sold to a group of investors. It later passed through the hands of Blount, Lehman Brothers and finally found a home in defense-industry legend Alliant Techsystems (ATK).
Today it’s part of Vista Outdoor, the ATK sporting group of companies that was spun off into a separate entity in 2015. Better mission focus was one of the reasons for the amicable separation, and the added concentration on the needs of civilian shooters shows in Federal’s current lineup.
Federal Premium HST
Federal is deadly serious about the performance of its self-defense ammunition, and the dedication is on display in its relatively new HST line. The hollow-point bullet is designed to reduce or eliminate clogging as it passes through intermediate barriers, yet reliably expand on impact and retain weight. Overpenetration is minimized while fight-stopping power is retained. Add the nickel case, bullet profile tuned to avoid feeding problems with Federal’s unique primer and it makes for the kind reliable load needed for carry or home defense. Owners of .45 ACP, .40 S&W, 10 mm, .38 Spl. and .380 ACP handguns will want to take a close look at these loads.
Federal Premium Hydra-Shok
Hydra-Shok first hit the market in 1989, and it’s never surrendered its position as one of the premier self-defense cartridges. The unmistakable-looking bullet is a hollow-point, with a center post that aids in reliable expansion and weight retention. It’s available for a variety of handgun chamberings.
Federal Gold Medal Match
Combine Federal’s the near century of cartridge-tuning knowledge with the bullet-making wizardry at Sierra Bullets and you have the MatchKing. If you want to put those calipers to use on targets further than 100 yards—without hours behind a reloading press—look no further.
Federal Premium Sierra GameKing
Hunters need to deliver clean and ethical, one-shot stops, and these loads improve the ability to do so. Loaded with the Sierra Bullets line of soft-point GameKings, they deliver the exterior ballistics required to hit and target and all the expansion needed to fill that tag.
Federal Premium Prairie Storm
Federal was the first company to produce a shotshell designed for a specific hunting pursuit. It was turkey at first, but its Prairie Storm continues the tradition with 2 3/4- and 3-inch loads in different gauges, all tailored for upland bird hunters.
Federal American Eagle
And high-volume shooters aren’t ignored by Federal. Its pocketbook-friendly American Eagle line is available in a variety of different chamberings and loads. Whether your practicing or competing with a handgun or rifle, the odds are good you’ll find an American Eagle product to cover your needs.

These .45 ACP Hi-Shok rounds are assembled using non-corrosive Boxer primers fitted into reloadable brass casings and topped by 230 grain jacketed hollow-point projectiles. 230 grains is the ideal weight for the caliber and is recommended by expert shooters for the best ballistics and cycling, especially with full size 1911 handguns.
The Hi-Shok JHP bullet design is shaped for optimum interface with any style of feed ramp and possesses a very wide cavity surrounded by light serrations. These features guarantee wide, threat-dropping expansion on impact even at lower velocities from short-barreled pocket pistols. In addition, Hi-Shok cartridges have a cannelure midway down the casing which prevents bullet setback caused by repeat chambering; this increases the longevity of your carry ammo as you unload your pistol for practice sessions.
Widener's also carries a wide range of .45 ACP practice ammunition as well as these very same Hi-Shok rounds in bulk for all of your CCW concerns.

That’s your expert shooting tip for the day. Here’s another: For training at the range or otherwise enjoying your firearm however your please, Federal’s Champion line offers the perfect way to do so.
This 10mm cartridge features a 180 grain full metal jacket projectile. Its core is evenly distributed in weight, as is its jacket, which grants it great balance as it whirls away toward its target. This bullet’s jacket is hard enough to keep lead off of a handgun’s riflings without inadvertently filing them down, and even helps a semi-auto shift the cartridge from magazine to chamber more reliably. All in all, when you can do without terminal expansion, this is the bullet you want.
Federal is careful to only turn out brass that chambers precisely, and which possesses all the suppleness that clean ignition and the option to reload afterward demand. Their priming mixture doesn’t create caustic byproducts that could threaten your handgun with rust, and their clean burning propellant prevents the kind of residue accumulation that gradually chips away at a weapon’s accuracy in between cleanings. Tack on a box of these target practice rounds to your order and see why Federal has endured for 100 years to become one of America’s preeminent ammo makers. -

Federal Top Gun 410 Bore 1/2 oz. #8 – 250 Rounds
$184.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 1/2 oz.

We call them “our favorite dudes,” because we get to sell them Federal Premium Top Gun by the case.
That’s right! One of the Midwest’s greatest ammunition manufacturers designed this 410 shell specifically for the great sport of sporting clays. Don’t fret if you want to shoot trap or skeet – and maybe take a crack or two at small game in between range days. This handy shell does it all (with obvious exceptions for medium game and personal protection).
This 2-1/2” long shell’s 1/2 ounce payload of #8 shot equals 205 pellets total. Not as much as you’d get out of a 12 or a 20, but still plenty effective thanks to the hard lead shot pellets’ ability to stay round under pressure, pattern efficiently, and put more holes through the target. The shell’s chipper 1,330 fps muzzle velocity is super helpful, as it provides a relatively flat trajectory, short lead time, and hard punch on impact.

This ammo’s not marketed for off-the-range applications. We’re quite certain it could hold its own against an assailant or a whitetail, although its shot lacks copper plating, granulated buffering, a particularly high-tech wad, or any other feature intended to tighten and standardize its pattern.

The bullet features a total metal jacket -- because even its base is enclosed by its jacket, you’ll produce substantially fewer lead fumes when you fire it. That makes it perfect for use in poorly ventilated indoor ranges, or for high volume shooters who know they’d do well to limit their lungs’ exposure to toxic gasses. This bullet’s jacket further prevents rapid lead fouling in a rifle’s bore, preserving the very accuracy that the 224 Valkyrie cartridge is renowned for.
This round also offers a factory fresh brass casing which is ideal for handloading, a non-corrosive primer which is reliable enough to guarantee a shot with every trigger pull, and clean burning propellant which will spare your bore and action from becoming encrusted with caustic residues. Its agreeable price and number of features make this cartridge a must for range training, and with 200 of them to go through you’ll be quite content the next time you venture to the range or woods. -

This is a target load to the bone. It’s charged up with a full 1-1/8 ounces of #7.5 lead shot – the most popular choice of birdshot for peppering steel targets, hands down. Federal also loads this round with the sensitive primer and clean-burning powder it needs in order to deliver a 1,235 fps muzzle velocity. The Minnesotan company claims that particular MV provides the optimal balance of precision, power and speed, and we are most inclined to agree.
Whether you slide this ammo through an AR-12 or something less sophisticated, you can count on its stiff roll crimps and brass-plated steel heads to ensure smooth cycling during the most vigorous target shooting session. Action Shotgun ammo is reloadable, so it can live to see more than one competition!Customer Reviews

Federal American Eagle 224 Valkyrie 75 Grain TMJ – 20 Rounds
$15.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 75 Grain Bullet Type Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 224 Valkyrie Manufacturer SKU AE224VLK1 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544630299 Cost Per Round 79.2¢ per round This 224 Valkyrie cartridge boasts all of its exciting new caliber’s myriad features, including stellar wind drift resistance, low recoil, and great range. Its 75 grain projectile features a total metal jacket. Because even this bullet’s base is enveloped by its copper alloy jacket, it will produce drastically less aerosolized lead when it is fired. That’s a great benefit if you’re going to fire it indoors where ventilation might be inadequate, or if you just plan on shooting a lot in one session and would like to limit your exposure to toxic fumes. The bullet’s jacket further promotes certain feeding and protects your bore from rapidly accumulating lead residue that would have brought down your rifle’s accuracy.
American Eagle stands for low prices, but not low quality. As such these rounds’ uniform brass casings, sensitive primers, and propellant which guarantees consistent chamber pressure and muzzle velocity are all top notch.

The Wideners team are great!
As far as the ammunition, as far as I am concerned there is no better personal defense ammo in any caliber than Federal HST. More and more law enforcement agencies are adopting this format. That in itself is enough to know it performs when needed and possibly a critical point when you are scrutinized when you have to use it. All of my carry weapons are loaded with HST rounds .
When your life depends on it, defend yourself with confidence in HST.Review by BrokeGunner (Posted on 1/7/2021)

Federal Train + Protect 357 Mag 125 Grain JHP – 50 Rounds
$41.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 125 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense Casing Type Brass Quantity 50 Ammo Caliber 357 Magnum Manufacturer SKU TP357VHP1 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544656213 Cost Per Round 83.7¢ per round Federal’s Train + Protect series ammunition provides an affordable method for practicing with the same rounds you would use for self-defense. If your lifeline is a 357 Magnum revolver, here’s your chance to train the same way you’d fight!
Federal calls this round’s bullet the “Versatile Hollow Point.” It is a normal enough jacketed hollow point, with a nose cavity to provide terminal expansion and a jacket to ensure deeper penetration. The jacket doesn’t extend all the way to the bullet’s rim, which helps the JHP undergo expansion at lower velocities. Even if the JHP fails to expand at all, its flat nose profile would do a great deal of soft tissue damage on its own. The 125 grain bullet’s 1,440 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4” vented barrel translates to over 500 ft lbs of energy at close range – certainly a powerful enough punch to subdue the threat in one blow.
Federal’s high-quality (and Minnesota-made) brass cases are as smooth-feeding as they are reloadable. You may also fire this nonmagnetic and noncorrosive ammo in a lever-action rifle without issue. -

Lightweight, inexpensive, and highly accurate, this low recoil round is phenomenal for range training, plinking, match shooting, and hunting applications.
Federal has been around since 1922, crafting some of America's best ammunition for nearly one hundred years. Whether you want quality inexpensive ammo for volume shooting or something incredibly effective and top of the line, Federal has exactly what you need. These Federal LE Tactical TRU rounds are designed for self defense applications. Each projectile is a 64 grain soft point that delivers controlled expansion and great barrier penetration. These bullets are loaded into factory fresh brass cases that come boxer primed and are reloadable. All Federal ammunition is loaded in the USA.

Federal Premium is way ahead of you! The old Minnesotan company’s Train + Protect line of ammunition makes it easy to prepare for target practice and self-defense alike!
This cartridge is loaded with Federal’s own Versatile bullet. The 180 grain jacketed hollow point has the balanced weight distribution and consistent profile that great accuracy depends upon. The Versatile bullet’s hollow point nose cavity is surrounded by a notched jacket. When impact forces the nose cavity to commence expansion, the jacket splits open to promote fast terminal ballistics that maximize energy transfer to surrounding soft tissues while simultaneously tracking a wide, debilitating wound channel.
Train + Protect ammunition is loaded with Federal’s most reliable noncorrosive Boxer primers – nothing else will do when your pistol becomes your only means of protection. Federal’s new production brass cases cycle precisely as they’re meant to, and they are reloadable as soon as their spent primers are extracted. -

Unlike surplus imports, these American-made cartridges use brass casings that can be processed and hand-loaded after expenditure. Each casing has a clean-igniting Boxer primer that won't harm your barrel with metal-deteriorating elements. Federal guards the primer's edges with water-repelling sealant in order to increase dependable storage life. Each casing is crimped to the knurled cannelure of a full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet.
This type of crimp point prevents the bullet from being pushed back or dislodged which could otherwise cause a failure to fire or loss in accuracy. The FMJ projectile itself weighs in at 124 grains for compatibility with most other AK and SKS ammo on the market, resulting in consistent point-of-impact and relatable recoil. The bullet's true copper jacket and basic lead core preclude any sparking or penetration that might get the ammo banned at an indoor range, allowing you to shoot your favorite rifle wherever you wish. This 500-round bulk case is best used for practice and drills against training targets.

Don’t rely luck when you’re already unlucky. Train, train, train, and prepare to take matters into your own hands.
This is fine 12 Gauge ammunition, although Federal Premium does not explicitly produce it for hunting, defense, or law enforcement. It’s training ammo. It’s neat because it’s loaded with nine pellets of 00 buckshot – just like a shell you may use when the cards aren’t dealt in your favor – which it delivers at 1,325 fps muzzle velocity. The shot isn’t enhanced, buffed, or fancy in any particular way. It’s just 00 buck, which recoils, aims, and patterns comparably to a higher grade of shell.
Could you use this Minnesota-made ammo off the range? Of course. It’s not a menagerie of fancy, performance-enhancing features, but nine pellets of supersonic double-aught are, at the end of the day, just that. -
Federal Shorty Shotshell 12 Gauge 1-3/4" 15/16oz. #8 Shot – 10 Rounds

This 12 Gauge shell is less than two inches long, and yet it still packs nearly one ounce of #8 lead shot. That shot is hard and naturally able to stay round until it ejects from the muzzle. Even given its size, you’ll find that a Shorty’s accuracy and downrange energy are in every way comparable to what you should expect from a normal size load!
Federal didn’t take the Shorty as an opportunity to give their customers any less than they great quality for which they’re so well respected. You’ll be able to subject this shell’s hull to the same amount of abuse that you would any other load’s, and its even patterning wad, sensitive primer, and consistent propellant charge are all characteristic of a bigger load’s as well. This shell’s softer recoil is great for fostering a love for target shooting in youngsters, and it puny size makes it very convenient to keep on hand for general usage!Customer Reviews

Small, but Works Great!

Cycles fine in my pump shotgun, but not so much in the box fed shotgun. I could not chamber a round with my box feed without getting a malfunction. These are definitely ideal when you want more rounds in your magazine tube without buying a new tube. My magazine tube holds 6 rounds of 2-3/4” and I was able to load all 10 of these rounds with room for 1 or 2 more. These were fun to shoot.

Federal Shorty Shotshell 12 Gauge 1-3/4" #4 Buckshot – 100 Rounds
$99.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 11/16 oz. Bullet Type #4 Buck Use Type hunting or defending your home Quantity 100 Ammo Caliber 12 Gauge Manufacturer SKU SH129 4B Shot Material Lead Shell Length 1-3/4" Magnetic No UPC Barcode 50004544651433 Cost Per Round 99.8¢ per round It’s the Shorty Shotshell! This 12 Gauge shotshell by Federal of Minnesota has something very special going for it: It is only 1-3/4” long. If your pump-action shotgun is designed to feed such short shells (or it has an aftermarket adapter that lets it feed such short shells), then this ammo will effectively increase its mag capacity by over 60 percent!
This shell also offers gentler recoil thanks to its 11/16 ounce shot column and 1,200 fps muzzle velocity. Teaching a younger or recoil-averse shooter how to shoot and hunt can be easier when the ammo kicks a little more gently, and maintaining your aim on the target is also easier when you don’t have as much muzzle flip to compensate for in between trigger pulls.
But is a Shorty Shotshell weak? Heavens no! All together, this round’s 15 pellets of #4 buck tear out of the muzzle over 950 ft lbs of kinetic energy. That exceeds the minimum threshold for self-defense by about 360%, and 15 individual shot pellets give you a higher chance of striking the target when your aim wasn’t perfect.
This shell’s dense-patterning 0.24” diameter shot pellets do retain substantially less momentum than 00 buck. That limits it to deer hunting at closer ranges, although you may appreciate #4 buck’s lower chance of piercing multiple sheets of drywall if you’re doing all you can to avoid collateral damage in a home defense scenario. -
Federal Shorty Shotshell 12 Gauge 1-3/4" 1 oz. Rifled Slug – 100 Rounds
$99.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 1 oz. Bullet Type Rifled Slug Use Type hunting Quantity 100 Ammo Caliber 12 Gauge Manufacturer SKU SH129 RS Shell Length 1-3/4" Magnetic No UPC Barcode 50004544651945 Cost Per Round 99.8¢ per round Federal Premium’s Shorty Shotshell series 12 Gauge ammunition really is something else! This diminutive shotshell measures a mere 1-3/4” long, yet its accuracy and energy are both on par with many full-size shells!
This shell is loaded with a one-ounce rifled slug. The solid lead projectile’s rifled design does not impart rotational stability; it simply enables safe passage through a smoothbore barrel and its choke tube. Its nose cavity forces the slug to flatten down, maximize energy transfer, and gouge out a wider, more injurious wound cavity during penetration. And because the shell’s low-fouling propellant charge delivers a reliable muzzle velocity of 1,200 fps, the 0.110 G1 BC slug consistently conserves at least 1,000 ft lbs of energy until it reaches 66 yards.
Federal didn’t shortchange this short shell in terms of quality. You can trust its primer to light up exactly when you tell it to, and its low-brass hull to feed and extract like a charm. Take care that semi-autos generally don’t cycle short shells, and some pump-actions need special adapters before they can run ammo like this. -

’ If you’ve got an AR or any other kind of 5.56/223 Rem rifle, this is the ammo you need for all kinds of casual varminting.

The bullet’s bare lead tip and thin copper jacket enable it to undergo fast, expansion. Terminal ballistics like that annihilates coyote and woodchucks no sweat, but often leads to insufficiently deep penetration for medium game.

Works well

There are many reviews on the net that this stuff jams. Reading carefully, it seems these reviews are with Glock pistols. I'm shooting a Gold Cup and as such, was provided with 2 springs, a 32 coil spring and a 28 coil spring. Because these are a mid-range load and they have less recoil than 230 gr. hardball, I installed the lighter spring. I've had no problems with function. Maybe if the Glock pistols could use a lighter spring, these would function well for the Glock as well.

Federal Tactical LE 12 Gauge 1 oz. HP Rifled Slug – 250 Rounds

Bullet Type Rifled Slug Use Type hunting Quantity 250 Ammo Caliber 12 Gauge Manufacturer SKU LE127 RS Shell Length 2-3/4" Magnetic No UPC Barcode 50029465018684 Cost Per Round $1.12 per round Federal loads their Tactical Law Enforcement line of shotshells for – you guessed it – law enforcement professionals. That begs the $10,000 question: Can normal Joes buy this ammo, too? Yes! No badge required if you want to order this case of cop-grade 12 Gauge slug ammo.
This shell’s one-ounce Hydra-Shok rifled* hollow point slug tears out of a 30” barrel at a rate of 1,300 fps. It will hit a 25-yard target with 1,277 ft lbs of energy, which is roughly five times the recommended minimum for personal protection. The solid lead slug’s nose cavity will supply the terminal expansion which (A) creates a more injurious wound cavity, and (B) reduces the chance of potentially dangerous over-penetration (although we cannot guarantee so powerful a projectile will not pass through a human-size target all the same).
This round excels at the FBI test protocol for self-defense ammo. When fired into bare ballistic gelatin, the slug penetrates to a depth of 14.25”, expands to a diameter of 0.981” and retains 99.59% of its weight. If the ballistic gel is shielded by heavy clothing, the slug penetrates to a depth of 15.50”, expands to a diameter of 0.924” and retains 98.95% of its weight. Even safety glass – the toughest barrier on the FBI test protocol – only causes this slug to lose 47.84% of its overall weight!
This is a low-recoil round. That will reduce the amount of muzzle rise you have to compensate for after firing each shot, so you’ll be able to direct a more rapid and accurate stream of fire at the threat. However, we cannot guarantee that low-recoil ammo will reliably cycle all semi-auto shotguns.
*Rifled slugs are designed for smoothbore barrels only. -

Perfect for Duck Hunting

These are long 3-1/2" rounds, so make sure your shotgun can take them. These rounds are great for duck hunting. You can NOT shoot them at steel targets because the steel shot will bounce back at you and could cause injury. I did not have any feed issues and would recommend.

Good choice for home defense

After reading a number of internet "expert" opinions and watching some You Tubers pontificate on the subject the consensus was these shells are the best for home defense use. Testing these vs. other sporting 00 rounds the 'Flite Control wadding does indeed make for a tighter group. I'm using them in a Stoeger side-by-side coach gun but I'm sure they'd do just as well in my Mossberg 500.

Best 12gauge ammo made
-
This is THE 12gauge round for serious work. The tightest patterns Ive ever seen at 25 to 45 yards in a shotgun. It hits like a sledgehammer too. The 8pellet is actually my all time favorite round for 00 but the 8 pellet is tops too. The best 13gauge ammo ever made was the LE1321B but it sadly is no longer made.

Federal Shorty Shotshell 12 Gauge 1-3/4" 1oz. Rifled Slug – 10 Rounds
$11.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 1 oz. Bullet Type #1 Shot Use Type hunting Quantity 10 Ammo Caliber 12 Gauge Manufacturer SKU SH129 RS Shell Length 1-3/4" Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544651454 Cost Per Round $1.18 per round The Battle of Thermopylae looks one-sided on paper. How could a team of about 6,000 Spartans possibly hold off a crushing wave of hundreds of thousands -- possibly millions -- of Persian soldiers? Well, as it turned out, a devout band of brother soldiers who knew the lay of their own land amounted to a lot more than invaders marching to the crack of a whip ever could. For every Spartan that stood, five Persians would fall.
The message to take from this is that bigger doesn’t always mean better. That holds true for Federal’s Shorty Shotshell as well. Despite being only 1.75” long, this 12 Gauge shell’s one ounce rifled slug issues out of the muzzle at a whopping 1,200 fps. That gives it the straight trajectory and the wallop on impact needed to take care of most any job you could ask a slug to do.
If your shotgun can handle mini shells, you’ll love how the Shorty will effective double its magazine’s capacity. Its low recoil is valuable for several other applications as well. This shell’s quality is full Federal tier, complete with a durable hull, clean burning propellant, and primer that you can count on in any situation.
