This 12 Gauge shell’s #8 lead shot pellets contain more antimony than usual. It’s another heavy metal, and when it’s present in high concentrations it makes lead extra hard. That prevents shot deformation, which in turn promotes narrower patterning.
Federal’s Podium wad brings a lot to the table. Its unique compression zone protects the hard shot pellets against recoil so they can remain even more spherical and aerodynamic. The Podium also negates a good deal of recoil before it can reach its way back to the shooter, so you can train and compete with greater comfort and less muzzle flip.
Federal’s choice primer and propellant are stored within the perfect hull for handloading. Not only does it readily accept a wide range of wads – its solid brass cap is much easier to return to form than a standard brass-plated steel one.
