Title: New federal load.....
Post by: chatterbox on January 24, 2015, 12:18:14 PM
Looks like Federal is jumping into the plus 40 yard game...... Could be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Flight control wad and $4 a shell that's probably 50% lead I will pass.

I have no plans to try em' either.  The initial results I've already seen were not very impressive.

If Fed wants to play the 40+ game they should start by scraping the FC wad and capitalize on a 1/4-3/8 heavier payload of HW shot.  Fed could use the 15cc HW and be the king of the hill if they would.

As soon as time and weather allows, I'll take some of those shells to the range and evaluate them at 20 and 40 yards with different chokes and let you know what I see.

Thanks,
