Performs Like Lead
The introduction of Federal Premium Tungsten-Polymer in 1998 expanded waterfowl hunters' choices in high performance non-toxic ammunition and allowed them to shoot shells which performed just like lead. With Tungsten-Polymer you get the speed, excellent down-range energies and consistent 40 yard, 80 - 85% patterns of traditional lead shot. Best of all, Tungsten-Polymer is safe to use in all shotguns.

Federal's original 12-gauge 2 3/4" and 3" loadings are now being expanded to include 10, 12 - 3 1/2" and 20-gauge.

Gauge Length (in.) Shot wt. (oz.) Muzzle Velocity Shot Size
10 3 1/2 1 3/4 1,325 4, 6
12 3 1/2 1 3/4 1,275 4, 6
20 3 1 1/4 1,185 4, 6
20 2 3/4 1 1/8 1,175 4, 6

Each of these loads will prove highly effective on waterfowl. Both 20-gauge loads are also idea for hunting upland game in areas restricted to non-toxic shot. Remember, Tugnsten-Polymer should be used in the same chokes you would select for lead shot.
