Federal Ammunition just announced its latest steel load designed exclusively for waterfowl hunting. New Federal Ultra Steel comes in 12- and 20-gauge, delivering a payload of zinc-plated steel shot on target.

“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 Ultra Steel loads come in various standard payloads. The double-stack loads feature two different size of shot. Smaller pellets create full patterns and larger shot that delivers increased lethality. They also utilize reliable primers and clean-burning propellant, according to Federal. Both the 12- and 20-gauge loads ship in 25-round 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.”
