Federal Ammunition has launched a new waterfowl hunting ammunition line in Rob Roberts Raptor Steel. Federal’s shotshell engineers collaborated with experts at the Rob Roberts Custom Gunworks to design these specialized waterfowl loads, which pair heavy payloads and high shot counts to put more pellets on target through Raptor Series chokes.
“Rob Roberts and his team helped us develop these customized loads, which pair heavy payloads and high pellet counts with carefully selected velocities proven to put more pellets on target,” said Federal’s Shotshell product director, Dan Compton. “The loads combine Federal’s high-performance primers and clean-burning propellant to deliver lethal shot strings through the advanced Raptor choke design.”
“These new loads are pure poison with looks that kill, and it flat-out crushes ducks and geese,” said Rob Roberts. “Federal’s standard, blue-box, Speed-Shok loads have always been a go-to for me. And with our help, this new load is that standard on steroids. The heavy 1 3/8-ounce set at an ideal speed of 1,400 fps that produces an unbelievable, consistent pattern priced right for its performance level. Precise, killer patterns are what make any hunter successful. This balanced load delivers on that.”
