Federal Mag-Shok Heavyweight turkey load

Where the Mossberg shotgun left off, Federal has picked up with their 12-gauge Federal Mag-Shok Heavyweight turkey load.

Filled with 1 ¼ ounces of buffered tungsten shot in both No. 6 and No. 7, these 2 ¾-inch shells offer performance on par with 3-inch No. 5 loads, while adding 20 yards to the effective range.

For hunters looking to minimize recoil and maximize performance, or for the recoil-sensitive hunter, these loads are just the ticket.

The newest additions to the Mag-Shok Heavyweight lineup are two loads designed for taking down gobblers hard. With 47 percet less recoil than 3-inch loads — yet delivering the energy level of No. 5 lead loads — these new 12-gauge 2 ¾-inch shotshells feature 1 ¼-ounce shot and a rear-braking wad.

Tight patterns and muzzle velocities of 1,300 feet per second add up to a great day in the turkey woods.
