Unusual Ammo finds

[owlhoot]

I've just read that it was Federal, really directed at waterfowl and steel shot loads first with the 1991 steel shot regulations coming soon.
8 is 1988 perhaps . 35 is 3 1/2 " shells
Then Mossberg and NWTF got with Federal for the turkey loads.

Thanks runngun, we learned something today.

Yes indeed!!! The reason I knew this is because in1988, the year that I graduated my Daddy actually bought a Mossberg 835 for Turkey hunting. I have that gun now and I have a lot of guns. But that one is absolutely priceless in my book.

Have a good one and May God bless, Bo

I believe mid to late 80's. Turkey loads started.

Thank you. I don't recall seeing them until late 90s, but I admit it wasn't something I would be looking for

A little FYI which many be interesting is that Remington express turkey guns with a 21" barrel came out in 91,
I ordered 1 immediately lol.

I just read an article today that said the 835 and Federal 3 1/2" were introduced in 1988!
