ANOKA, Minnesota – February 10, 2022 – Federal Ammunition launched its new High Overall Competition Target Loads for competitive shotgun shooters in the early fall of 2021. The company also showcased these exciting new loads at the 2022 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 2022.

“It was great to show shooters how effective and smooth-shooting these new loads are while at the SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range event,” said Dan Compton, Federal Ammunition Shotshell Product Manager. “We are proud of this new product and anyone who tried it was impressed.”

Federal Premium High Over All leaves a trail of shattered targets in its wake and more reloads per shell. It’s hard, high-antimony lead payload and exclusive one-piece Podium wad produce the most consistent patterns, while the solid brass head and tapered, one-piece hull make reloading easier than ever.

“Our new High Overall Competition Target Loads offer maximum performance on the range and at the hand loaders bench,” said Dan Compton, Federal Ammunition Shotshell Product Manager. “We made them with five-percent antimony shot to reduce fliers for consistent patterns and to crush clays on impact. And the newly designed single piece Podium wad delivers soft shooting and great patterns.”

From beginners to elite and all shooters in-between, it’s the ultimate load for anyone wanting to knock down more clay targets at the range. The complete list of sixteen 12-gauge, 2 3/4-inch offerings have a wide range of payloads, velocity, dram, and in shot sizes of 7.5, 8, 8.5 or 9, to accommodate the needs of any discipline of competitive shooting.

ANOKA, Minnesota – February 4, 2022 – Federal Ammunition is proud to announce three new loads in the industry’s only ammunition product line truly designed for optimal cycling and overall performance from the time-tested, lever-action rifle platform. Federal successfully launched Its HammerDown line in 2020, and now the company is expanding that product line’s options to include the 45 Colt, 35 Remington and 444 Marlin cartridges.

“Our goal for HammerDown was to deliver enhanced performance in any lever-action rifle. HammerDown provides the velocity and terminal performance required to be an effective and ethical hunting round for big game,” said Federal Ammunition Centerfire Rifle Product Manager Eric Miller. “With the addition of the 45 Colt, 35 Remington and 444 Marlin options to our lineup, that performance is now available to a broader audience of hunters and shooters.”

The velocities of all-new HammerDown offerings are customized to produce superior ballistics and terminal performance through lever-action barrel lengths. The construction of the molecularly bonded soft point bullets has also been adjusted for the best accuracy and expansion at those velocities. The geometry of each round’s case, bullet and cartridge ensures flawless cycling through tubular magazine and typical lever-action feeding systems. HammerDown is now offered in .45 Colt, 35 Remington and 444 Marlin in addition to the original loadings of 30-30 Win., 357 Magnum, 327 Federal and 44 Rem. Magnum.

“One of the enhanced design features found in all HammerDown ammo is that we chamfered the front face of the case rim on all the nickel-plated cases. This removes any sharp edges to increase reliability of feeding,” continued Miller. “This feature essentially improves cycling in all lever-action feeding systems, such as side-gate loading and tubular magazines.”
