Federal’s New Hi-Bird Fiber Wad Loads Now Shipping
Click image to enlarge and download.ANOKA, Minnesota - August 6, 2025 - Federal Ammunition has recently added three load options to its Premium® Hi-Bird Fiber Wad shotshells. These high-performance 12-gauge loads feature a cellulose-based fiber wad, reducing plastic waste in the field while delivering the same hard-hitting downrange energy as the original Hi-Bird loads. These new loads are currently being delivered to retailers nationwide.
“Hi-Bird Fiber Wad is the perfect solution for high-volume upland bird hunters and competitive shooters looking to minimize their environmental impact,” said Dan Compton, Federal Shotshell Product Director. “These fiber wads break down naturally over time in the field, helping to reduce plastic buildup while still providing the high velocities, pattern consistency, and downrange performance that hunters and shooters expect.”
This shotshell features a gas-sealing over-powder fiber wad for optimal performance, precision-engineered lead shot for even patterns, and high-power 12-gauge loads that maximize long-range lethality. It is an excellent option for both field and competition shooting.
Joining the 12-gauge No. 5 shot option released in 2023, the Hi-Bird Fiber Wad line now includes No. 4 and No. 6 shot variants. Each load features a 12-gauge, 2¾-inch shell with 1¼ ounces of shot and a velocity of 1,330 FPS, delivering consistent performance for varying shooting needs. Hi-Bird Fiber Wad shotshells are available in 25-round boxes.
