ANOKA, Minnesota - February 4, 2026 - Federal has received the 2026 Gold Award in the Shotshells category from the Predator Xtreme readers. Hunters who read this magazine are incredibly loyal to the products they use, and these annual awards allow them to reveal what products they think are the absolute best.
“The Predator Xtreme Readers' Choice Awards have been going strong since 2012, and very few brands have shone as bright as Federal, earning gold honors 9 times out of 14 years and now 8 years in a row,” said Predator Xtreme Publisher Derrick Nawrocki. “Federal has proven their Shotshells have phenomenal take-down power in the field, and clearly our readers are huge fans of Federal’s shotgun shells."
Predator Xtreme polled its readership to find out their favorite gear—the products that really work. They then tallied the votes to determine the 2026 Readers' Choice Awards. The awards represent the best insider knowledge on products proven to work best for hunters nationwide. Reporting this knowledge helps their readers become better hunters and spend their hunting gear money wisely.
“Federal has long been a fan favorite and continues to be the consistent brand predator hunters trust, year after year,” said Federal Shotshell Product Director Dan Compton. “Our Federal Premium Buckshot 4B (P158 4B) is an excellent choice for diehard hunters. We engineer these buckshot shotshells to perform with the same precision as all our other shotshell loads. This load uses copper-plated pellets to produce tight patterns and great downrange energy. It also puts more hits on target for impressive stopping power on predators, hogs, and deer.”
