“Upland Steel continues to be a go-to option for hunters who want dependable performance at a price that lets them shoot all day,” said Federal’s Shotshell Product Manager, Sam Oftedahl. “These two new 12-gauge loads in the larger shot size of No. 4 and No. 5 give hunters even more flexibility in the field, especially in areas where non-lead shot is required.”
Federal Upland Steel is designed to deliver the patterns and power hunters need for fast-flying upland birds, while maximizing the performance of steel pellets through high velocities and consistent load construction. Featuring quality steel payloads, an inserted plastic base wad, and reliable performance in the field, Upland Steel is an ideal choice for pheasants, doves, quail, grouse, and other upland game.
