Federal Premium has announced a new 20-gauge offering as part of its 3rd Degree ammo line for hunting. As the product listing notes, 3rd Degree — which was initially offered last year — uses a multi-shot, three-stage payload to deliver larger, more forgiving patterns at close range, while still providing deadly performance at long distance. The pattern of No. 5 Premium lead, No. 6 FLITESTOPPER® lead and No. 7 HEAVYWEIGHT® shot is maximized by the FLITECONTROL® wad, which opens from the rear and stays with the shot column longer than conventional wads for full, consistent patterns.
