Federal Heavyweight Update!

New for 2016

"All Heavyweight #7 SKUs will continue to be made. Given that #7 heavyweight has the same density as #5 lead and you get significantly more pellet count along with better downrange pellet energy and velocity, we are only offering it in #7."

I had read where another guy talked to Federal on the phone and he was told that it'll only be offered in #7's as well.

If you shoot anything other than #7's you better stock-up.

Maybe since it'll only be offered in #7's now it will be more available?

I'm glad they will be making the 7's. Best factory 20 gauge load IMO.

Great news. Good thing I hadn't jumped on the TSS wagon yet.

Given that #7 heavyweight has the same density as #5 lead....

Whoever wrote that needs to be fired from Federal.

Why? Because of the use of the word density? Should it be weight instead?

Yeah, whoever wrote it is either clueless about what he's selling, or doesn't understand the very basic terminology related to it.

And he misses the whole point of what makes the dense shot so much better. Fed HWT 7s will out penetrate lead #4 - so comparing them to lead #5s in any way is a big fail.
