Federal Premium Meateater Bismuth Ammunition brings back the performance of lead—without the heavy metal. With high-quality 9.6 g/cc density bismuth pellets, Federal Premium Bismuth payloads pattern and hit birds like traditional lead, providing more killing power at longer ranges. The material is also softer than tungsten and steel, allowing use in older shotguns as well as modern guns. The loads’ FLITECONTROL FLEX wad tightens patterns and increases lethality over comparable steel loads. It’s all why Federal Premium Bismuth is the official waterfowl and upland ammunition of MeatEater Steven Rinella.

Features

• Premium payloads of high-quality bismuth shot
• FLITECONTROL FLEX wad for dense, consistent patterns

• Meets non-toxic requirements
• Pellets are almost as dense as lead, 9.6 g/cc, for lethality at longer ranges than steel payloads
• More affordable than tungsten
• Bismuth is safe and effective for use in all shotguns

Features

• Rear-opening FLITECONTROL FLEX wad provides the tightest patterns possible through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes
• Payload of 40 percent FLITESTOPPER steel pellets and 60 percent Premium steel for dense patterns and larger wound channels
• Catalyst lead-free primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant drastically reduce residue
• Black nickel head inhibits corrosion
• Sealed crimp defeats moisture in extreme conditions

Federal Black Cloud ammunition takes non-toxic steel loads to the next level of performance. Equipped with the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, Black Cloud delivers improved pattern density and consistency through both ported and standard waterfowl chokes. The wad’s redesigned rear-deploying petals and side-mounted vents stimulate the payload for separation from the wad at the ideal moment for dense, deadly patterns. Plus, the efficient Catalyst lead-free primer and clean-burning, temperature-stable propellant significantly decrease residue in the barrel.

Kill gobblers at longer distances than ever before with Federal HEAVYWEIGHT TSS Turkey Ammunition. Its payloads of HEAVYWEIGHT Tungsten Super Shot provide the highest pellet counts possible. The tungsten-alloy material’s 18 gm/cc density is 22 percent higher than standard tungsten and 56 percent more than lead. The result is the most energy and highest velocities at extreme range. Its rear-braking FLITECONTROL FLEX wad performs flawlessly through ported and standard turkey chokes for the most consistent, deadly patterns possible.

Features

• HEAVYWEIGHT TSS payload with advanced buffering material
• Extremely high pellet counts
• 22 percent denser material than standard tungsten; 56 percent denser than lead
• FLITECONTROL FLEX wad provides extremely tight, consistent patterns through standard and ported turkey chokes*
• Roll crimp and clear card wad keeps buffering material in place
• Full-length wads prevent direct contact of the extra-hard pellets and the bore, protecting the barrel

Features

• HEAVYWEIGHT TSS payload with advanced buffering material
• As much as twice the pellet count of lead No. 5 loads of the same weight
• 22 percent denser material than standard tungsten; 56 percent denser than lead
• FLITECONTROL FLEX wad provides extremely tight, consistent patterns through standard and ported turkey chokes
• Roll crimp and clear card wad keeps buffering material in place
• Full-length wads prevent direct contact of the extra-hard pellets and the bore, protecting the barrel

Go beyond the limits of long range with Federal HEAVYWEIGHT TSS. The loads blend the 18 grams/cc density of Tungsten Super Shot pellets with the new FLITECONTROL FLEX wad to provide the most deadly patterns possible at extreme range.

Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS Lead loads use the updated FLITECONTROL FLEX wad and a mixed payload of standard pellets and FLITESTOPPER lead to produce full, consistent patterns from these smaller payloads. The improved wad design can be used through both ported and standard upland chokes for even better patterning and versatility. Don’t settle for sub-par performance from your sub-gauge shotgun.

Features

• FLITECONTROL FLEX wad can be used through all upland chokes
• Payload mix of 70 percent standard copper-plated lead and 30 percent FLITESTOPPER lead produces even edge-to-edge patterns
• FLITESTOPPER pellets create bigger wound channels
