ANOKA, Minn. – March 8, 2011 – Federal Premium® Ammunition introduces a new Mag•Shok® HEAVYWEIGHT® turkey load. The 20-gauge, 2-3/4-inch shells are on sale now for the fast-approaching 2011 spring turkey season.
Minimum Recoil, HEAVYWEIGHT® Power New 20-gauge Mag•Shok® HEAVYWEIGHT turkey loads are ideal for young hunters and shooters who prefer less recoil. These shells provide 40% less recoil than 3-inch loads–but remain just as lethal in the field. The payload of 250 #7 HEAVYWEIGHT pellets equals the energy of #5 lead at 40 yards.
Fast, Far and Effective The muzzle velocity is perfect for down-range performance at 1100 feet-per-second. And the rear-braking FLITECONTROL® wad delivers tight patterns for added lethality.
“We were able to reduce recoil, but still develop a load that patterns well, and will be very effective on turkeys,” said Rick Stoeckel, Federal Premium Brand Director. “These shells will appeal to young shooters and veteran turkey hunters alike.”
Federal Premium is also giving away a free hat and offering up to $20.00 back on the purchase of any Mag-Shok turkey load. Seehttp://www.federalpremium.com/promotions/promotions.aspx to learn more.
