“Waterfowlers live for those moments when the birds do it right. And in those moments, they want a shell that does the rest,” said Federal Shotshell Product Manager Josh Vickers. “Our new Federal Premium Ultra Steel will exceed expectations. It blends the rear-opening FLITECONTROL FLEX wad with a payload of our best zinc-plated steel, producing extremely tight patterns for even deadlier performance.”

Federal Premium Ultra Steel loads are available in various standard payloads and double-stack loads that feature two sizes of shot: smaller pellets that create full patterns and larger ones that deliver better lethality. They feature reliable primers and clean-burning propellant with 12—or 20-gauge options. They are packaged in 25-count boxes.

“Our spherical, zinc-plated steel shot creates denser core patterns; the results in the core 15-inch circle are quite impressive,” continued Vickers. The new double stack payloads make it great for multispecies hunts, such as using BB & 2 blends on field hunts when either honkers or mallards could be coming in at any time.”
