Stuff kinda sounds like a gimmick. Steel
Shot with a layer of tungsten. From what I can find I don't think it's any heavier than lead. Maybe someone can clarify

Its a hevi shot product not federal. I also found an article that mentions the shot is a mid density pellet, in between steel shot and tungsten.

I am aware, but the OP said Federal is partnering with Hevi which is no where in the link or anywhere else I have seen.

Fake news, federal has nothing to do with this trainwreck. 50% hevi 6s and 50% of #5 shot that is LESS dense than lead.

I can't imagine why they even make this stuff.
