OLD FEDERAL AMMO

[stinkpickle]

Yes.  They were packaged in the new style boxes for a while before adding the Flight Control Wad logo.  I have some of those, too.

Well, if its from Fred at Rogers, you better hurry.  I just got my 3 new boxes for a total of 7 of the 3.5/2/6s. I also just shot it todat in my 835 thumbhole and the new TG .670 Bone Collector.  My impression?  NICE!!  After a poi adjustment to the right about 6" on the red dot, no joke, at 35 yards, it put virtually every single pellet on the 24" square pattern paper with just a few outside the edges!!  The center 10" was nice and dense and even...in fact the whole pattern was just about perfect!  I LOVE THOSE OLD FEDEREAL LEAD LOADS BOY!!

I don't think i've found a lead shell that out performs the Winchester XX 3.5 2 1/4oz 6's yet. You have any pix up of that recent shoot with these shells and that Bone Collector choke? I've been curious to see how well those chokes shoot.

[mightyjoeyoung]

Ask and ye shall receive.  The shot was actually 36 yards.  Same range as usual at the folks' house.  I have shot hundreds of rounds of winchester loads...like em a lot, but I have always gotten better results with the older Fed pre FC 3.5/2/6 pb loads in my gun/choke combos.  Many guys who have only been hunting 10 years or less don't really get to see what a real federal lead load is since the advent of the FC wad.  Shame too cuz they don't know what they're missing...  while this pattern is quite good, I have gotten better from this gun, just not with this choke as it was, up until today un tested.

I stumbled across a great find today,friend of my uncle was cleaning out his storeroom/junk room and came across 10 boxes of old Federal pre FC 3"20ga 1-1/4oz #6's
he gave them to my uncle who in turn gave them to me
christmas came early

[mightyjoeyoung]

So...How much ya want for em?   

[Philippe]

I found two boxes on a local stores shelf of the 3.5 2 1/4oz 5's but he wanted 20 bucks a box. They can sit and collect dust for another 15 years lol.

[mightyjoeyoung]

Only thing I've been able to find is the 3/2/4s at Dunn's.  Hard to find those 5s anymore.

GH,
That's funny because it was just a couple years back that I bought a bunch of these shells through you and Reloader when I was searching for them too. Got 9 boxes put up I got through both you guys finding them and buying them for me, seems like it was $9-10 a box. 

If any of you fellas run across these old Fed Premium shells (old stuff-Non FC wad) in 3" 2oz #5s you let me know. Was the shebang on toms for me for a number of years. Down to 5 tarnished shells now in those #5s.

There is a local store that has a few boxes but you don't wanna see the price tag on them.
