I have heard the rumors and im sure that you have too but I found something that might prove the rumors wrong. On sportsmans guide,  if you add the fed. #6's to cart, it will tell you that it is out of stock BUT it will tell you that they expect the product to be in stock July 15th. So how do they expect it in stock if its discontinued?

Federal is discontinuing its line of HTL loads, including the heavyweight waterfowl loads, due to excessive cost to manufacture.  It IS however still in the 2013 catalog in the turkey loadings.  Apparently the online note on the website stating they were stopping the whole line has been recinded!!  I stand corrected...until next time.  lol

I sure hope so!  I only have maybe 5 or 6 boxes of 20 gauge 7's left all good lot #'s and the stuff is as rare as hen's teeth now so until I see it back on the shelves I gotta believe something is amiss...

Left a vm and federal returned my call within 30 minutes. The gentleman said that he hasn't heard anything about discontinuing their heavyweight turkey line of ammo. I have 3 boxes for my 20 gauge but haven't experimented with them. I really would like to find a good combo with that shell.

I know I won't be around that long

Winchester said they weren't gonna quite making extended range too right until the very end.


I've got enough Feds to last me a while. Even if they keep making them one of two things is gonna happen in the future.

1. Price per box goes up to account for tungsten increases or
2. Amount of tungsten in each pellet is reduced and quality of load performance suffers.

Why do you guys think Hevi shot keeps tinkering with hybrid loads.


I bought my Feds at 14 a box. Glad I did.
