Default the new federals....

i shot the new federal loads yesterday.....i saw a post asking about them a little while ago.....and watched the video and was impressed.....750 a box of 10 i said what the heck why not?...i bought the 12 ga 3 inch mag 2oz copper plated #4s....im impressed....never shot all that many turkey loads....yesterday i shot 3 diffrent loads and it beat them all by far....25yds the wad went through my target paper.....30 yds it hit the wood the paper was stapled too and bounced off......and from 25-30yds the pattern was the same.....ill put them on a turkey target next time i pattern..maybe have a pic for you guys...they were shooting to the right....so im getting sights and moving it over.....ill post a pic of the wads after the next range session too....they are crazy looking.....and made of good plastic....i found them laying in the field and was like what in the world is this? then thought about it and was like oh ya...its them new wads.....dont know how they stay with the pattern that far....all my other ones were blowing off within 10yds....i guess the rear of them acts like a fin? kinda like fletchings on an arrow is the only thing i could think of..i thought theyd slow it down..but i watched them hit my target.....ill do some counting and such on a turkey target next time....and increase the range....after i get my sights....just thought id let you guys know.......i like em....and will be hunting with them this year long as i get them moved over...
