OLD FEDERAL AMMO

[gatrkyhntr70]

Those were the load back in the day; I found 2 of those shells the other day and my son shot one through his 870/kicks set up, I wish I could find a stash of them!

I wonder if Speer/Federal/ATK is aware of how popular the pre-FC shells are. Maybe there's a market they can tap into if they're interested. They sure don't have to do any R&D to make the shells the old way.

Those are some nice finds. I think i might go to some old stores around here. See if i can get lucky.

If you can get your hands on them, the shells they made before those in the 1 7/8oz. version of buffered, non-copper plated 3" #6's were also great back in the day.

Sure seems like the shells were more consistent back then as well.

GREAT FIND! I bought 6 boxes of 3 1/2 inch #6's about 5 years ago for $12 a box.....I'm now on my last box.

Are the older Federal Grand Slam turkey pre-fc shells any good? Or is that what those are?

I have the old grand slam box with 4 shells left. There is a picture of the skeleton of the shell. It does don't look like the FC wad.

A small store around here HAD the 3.5-2-6 HV old Federals for $7.99 per box.  I say had because I bought them all.

LOL!  I did the same thing with old Fed 3-2-7.5's a while back.  I shoot hevi-13 now mostly, but I just can't help but hoard those sweet old gold and blue box Federals.

What gun/choke comination did you shoot those Fed 7 1/2's out of and how did they pattern???

BPS/Comp-n-Choke .670.  I don't remember the counts.

I was told they changed over from those old blue and gold boxes to a different box before they quit making them and went to the flight control garbage.
