“shotshell”

Whether for range use, personal defense or hunting, Federal’s new Shorty shotshells pack a similar punch to their bigger brothers in a small, 1¾-inch shell. Loaded with No. 8 shot, No. 4 buckshot or a rifled slug, there’s a reduced-recoil Shorty for you.

There's no doubt about it, Winchester's Shot-Lok technology has been a full-fledged revolution. Though originally designed with turkeys in mind, the concept has expanded to upland loads and, for 2016, will enter a not-so-feathered market. Coyotes, hogs and varmints the world over will be testing their luck against Varmint X shotshells going forward.

Earlier this year, Federal Premium—inventor of the turkey load—announced its latest gobbler-specific shotshell, titled 3rd Degree.

CCI has long been king of the shotshell for handguns, but its engineers had been working on the next generation of products for some time. The idea was simple: deliver more power than the company's standard offerings. It's what customers wanted. As you might have figured out, the name "Big 4" was born straight from the new line's main selling point: Each cartridge is loaded with No. 4 lead shot.

The Winchester brand has had no shortage of new surprises for its consumers—like the new Varmint X shotshell—but, as SHOT Show 2016 kicks into high gear, the company will also begin a year-long celebration. Oliver F. Winchester introduced his now legendary brand to the world in 1866—and so, in 2016, Winchester celebrates 150 years of success.

Browning's A5 Sweet Sixteen combines the classic Humpback design with a shotshell that's long been hailed as the "Gentleman's Gauge."

There's no shortage of new ammunition options on the market designed to bring the hurt to a turkey at long range, but what if that same thunder chicken were to sneak up on you and get within 10 yards?

Late in 2015, Browning shocked the industry with the announcement that it would be offering its own line of ammunition.

Benelli’s new 828U Sport over/under shotgun is based on the company’s revolutionary 828U platform with its patented, innovative steel locking plate and streamlined receiver. It features an integrated adjustment capability using a combination of small weights in the buttstock, allowing users to balance the shotgun to their preferred shooting style.
