Federal has had a bad reputation on and off for years.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I ain't gonna stop using it . True the white power will fall out of the copper coated buckshot but I never kelp none around long enough for it to be a problem.

But I like winchester just as much .

I tried some Federal dove shells many years ago and they cut my kill rate in half. They are just plain poor quality. I like Rio's for doves, Winchester for Turkey loads.

after I read your post I pondered on that for the rest of the day. Figured it was probably 50/50. I seen something similar happen on a dove field. I seen a fireball when he shot. Figured he must of grabbed some buckshot or something by accident. Afterwards he described something similar to you. Kinda shook him up.

Rio's require frequent gun cleaning they are some nasty shells but boy they hit hard and I have never had one fail. I need to find some, thats what I went to the truck to fill my vest with last Saturday. The big swampers didnt like them in #6's
