Is Federal Heavyweight Production Over?

[agturkey]

Is Federal really done with production of heavyweight?  Rumor on street is what is on hand will be loaded and the production is over after that.  My source is a gun store owner who informed me because I was going order case the other day if price was right.  Sure hope this is not true!

I sent a quick email off to Federal to get their response to this rumor. Their answer follows:

"As of 2013 we are still loading heavyweight shot in some of our turkey loads.  As for the future I could not tell you what will happen down the road as that information is not available.

Thanks
Federal Ammunition"

Decidedly non-conclusive.

Great....just when you think you have something to work with.  I take that as a discontinued product after 2013

My friend told me be smart to stock up.  I trust him he has never told me wrong before on his product knowledge!  He thinks its a hit or miss thing but said there is a chance of it being a no go.

Yup.  This and the Federal Premium Ultra-Shok line of steel waterfowl loads are being discontinued for some stupid reason...

For curiosity I just checked ableammos pricing....Single box at 17.98.....10 or more 17.08
If I purchased 10 boxes it would have been 18.82 a box after shipping was figured in...
Glad I am already stocked up...
I know one thing...shooting them with a bow is getting cheaper everyday!
