25 Rounds of 1 ounce #8 shot HV 12ga Ammo by Federal

Federal was founded in 1922 by Charles Horn, who came across what was a failing factory and decided he could turn it around. He refounded it as Federal and set about implementing his ideas or success. They included selling the company’s products in a variety of places from barber shops to gas stations to grocery stores, and before long the company began to flourish. Their first big contract came from the U.S. government in the form of a contract to build and operate what is now known as the Twin City Ordnance Plant. Federal did so well supplying ammunition to the military throughout several wars that they received an Army-Navy “E” for excellence, and the company’s excellence continues today.

These Federal rounds are made for your 12 gauge shotgun. Each round measures 2 ¾” long and is filled with #8 steel buckshot. They each have a 1 ounce load which provides plenty of force to propel the pellets towards targets with destructive force; many shooters prefer a 1 ounce load over stronger 1 1/8 loads because recoil is more manageable. Each of these rounds leaves the barrel of your shotgun with a muzzle velocity of 1145 feet per second. This is Federal’s target load and is great for shattering clays.

When you order this single box of shotshells from Federal you get 25 rounds. These boxes are just the right size for stashing in your range bag or stacking in your gun safe for later use. 25 rounds will give you and your shotgun a taste of the reliability and performance Federal is known for, but if you really want to focus on honing your marksmanship skills, you want more than one box. These rounds feature Federal’s Triple Plus wad column and clean-burning propellants. Federal manufactures ammunition at their factory in Anoka, Minnesota, according to high standards.
