Steel shot is usually the tool of the waterfowl hunters, who are obligated to comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or else face strict penalties. But what if you want to hunt upland game using that same kind of nontoxic shot? What do you do then?

It’s EZ! Simply order a case of Federal Premium’s Upland Steel 12 Gauge ammunition to your front door. Loaded with high-quality and innately deformation-resistant #5 steel shot, it’s a perfectly effective choice for hunting pheasant, grouse, and woodchucks and other similarly sized varmints.

Metallurgists will tell you that steel’s not as dense as lead. They are correct, which is why a #5 steel pellet won’t hit as hard as a #5 lead pellet when the two are cruising at identical velocity. So what did Federal do? They charged up this round to a beak-busting muzzle velocity of 1,400 fps, which energizes the steel for assured mid-range stopping power!
