“Tag: Upland Loads”

Prohibited from using lead shot for upland or small-game hunting? Sacrifice nothing with Federal’s new Upland Steel loads.

Here are five no-nonsense loads that’ll ground even the most tenacious birds.

The ammunition industry has fed the market with some fantastic upland loads that continue to move the ball forward when it comes to lethality. Let’s take a look at some of the most recent products to change the game.
