This shell is loaded with #4 shot. They’re big, heavy birdshot pellets which characteristically conserve more deadly momentum and tear wider wound channels through flesh. The lead pellets are entirely plated with copper: a feature which protects them against deformation, thereby promoting tighter patterning and deeper penetration. It’s a two-fold lethality boost!
This shell’s hot 1,500 fps muzzle velocity doesn’t hurt its lethality, either. In addition to increasing striking energy, that speed boost helps close the gap between muzzle and target much quicker. Flatter trajectory. Shorter lead on a moving target. Two welcome perks (albeit at the cost of somewhat stronger recoil than usual).
Federal’s Upland ammo hails from Minnesota, where it is loaded with premium brass-plated steel caps, high-strength plastic tubes, and low-residue primers and powder.
