30+ Federal Ammunition Shotshells Fly in 2025!

Master Class will comprise six 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge offerings, 7.5 and 8 shot. This competition-level sporting clay load features a customized Podium wad that extracts peak performance from Federal’s straight-wall hull. Reliable primers, high-antimony lead shot, and select propellant combine to break the most challenging targets.

Upland Paper will comprise six 2 3/4-inch 12- and 20-gauge offerings, 4, 5, and 6 shot. Experience the old school look, feel, and even smell of classic upland shotshells without losing the benefits of modern performance with new Federal Premium Upland Paper.

Black Cloud offerings include 2 3/4-inch 16-gauge offerings, 2 and 4 shot. Black Cloud FS Steel includes the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad to deliver improved pattern density and consistency through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes.

Heavyweight, HEVI-Shot & More

Heavyweight TSS adds two 28-gauge offerings, 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch, 9 shot. The tungsten-alloy shot material’s 18 g/cc density is 56 percent more than lead, resulting in the highest pellet counts, and the most energy at extreme range.

HEVI-Bismuth now includes seven 2 3/4-inch 16- and 3-inch 28-gauge offerings, 3, 4, and 5 shot. Launched by the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, 9.6 g/cc HEVI-Bismuth pellets pattern consistently, and their metallic properties make them safe in both modern and classic shotguns.

Hi-Bird Fiber Wad now comes in two 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge offerings, 4 and 6 shot. Reduce your impact on high-volume shoots. Hi-Bird Fiber Wad’s cellulose-based over-powder wad construction helps minimize plastic left in the field. It’s perfect for the field or preserve hunting situations.

Gold Medal Paper adds two 2 3/4-inch 20-gauge offerings, 7.5 and 8 shot. Now available in 20-gauge loads equipped with extra-high-antimony lead shot and the one-piece Podium wad.

Ultra Steel offers four 3 1/2-inch 10- and 12-gauge offerings, BBB/1, BB/2, and 2/4 shot. Federal Premium Ultra Steel features the rear-opening FLITECONTROL FLEX wad and a zinc-plated steel payload. It is available in a variety of standard payloads and loads that feature two sizes of shot.
