FEDERALPREMIUM.COM 27 ® ® premium premium HANDGUN RIFLE Handgun hunting is supposed to be a challenge, but that doesn’t mean hunters need to settle for less than peak performance. Federal Premium® Vital-Shok™ handgun hunting loads feature high-quality bullets and superior construction, and they’re loaded under the industry’s tightest tolerances. Whether you choose the all-new Trophy Bonded® Jacketed Soft Point chambered in the full-power 10mm Auto, or one of our proven Swift® A-Frame® loads, you will be up to any test big game can deliver. Full-Power 10mm Aut o Although the 10mm Auto was originally intended for law enforcement, the FBI deemed its recoil too heavy, which pushed ammunition manufacturers to weaken most offerings to produce ballistics almost identical to the 40 S&W. Our new Vital-Shok ™ load is a full-power cartridge that takes complete advantage of the caliber’s true capability, creating an ideal hunting load for bears, hogs, deer and more. 28 PREMIUM® HANDGUN HUNTING Trophy Bonded® JSP Controlled expansion for deep penetration Trophy Bonded® JSP Heavy jacket features a formed inner profile 16.25 inches penetration Jacket bonded to lead core for high weight retention Gelatin shot with 180-grain 10mm Auto Trophy Bonded® JSP (P10T1) from a Glock 20 at 20 yards. 45-CALIBER 300-GRAIN SWIFT® A-FRAME ® FEET PER SECOND EXPANSION RETENTION 1000 .695 0.99 1200 .640 0.99 1300 .650 0.99 1500 .645 0.88 1950 .660 0.88 2100 .635 0.87 PREMIUM ® HANDGUN BALLISTICS FEDERAL LOAD NO.

We used our patented expanding FMJ bullet technology to create a round that minimizes over-penetration through interior walls: award-winning Guard Dog®. The bullet’s fully enclosed nose collapses on impact with wallboard and never plugs with barrier material. Like all Federal Premium® centerfire offerings, it’s loaded with the most reliable primers, consistent powders and the highest-quality brass. It’s the ultimate option for in-home defense. Guard Dog® Home Defense These non-hollow-point expanding FMJ bullets are filled with an expanding blue polymer that minimizes the probability of injury to loved ones nearby. This one-of-a-kind bullet design is fully enclosed which means it never fills with barrier material and it collapses on impact every time. 30 PREMIUM® HOME DEFENSE Tested To Protect Bystanders EXPANDED BULLETS RETRIEVED FROM WALLBOARD TEST Number of Walls Gelatin/wallboard test setup 1 2 3 4 9.5 inches 6 inches No Gel Penetration No Gel Penetration PD40GRD 40 S&W 135-grain Guard Dog Gelatin Penetration Test: Four comparison tests were conducted. In each successive test, an additional wall barrier was added. Each wall barrier consists of two sheets of ½-inch wallboard placed 3½ inches apart. Gelatin covered 10 percent ballistic gelatin was placed with denim 18 inches behind the fourth wall. Image shown represents test scenario. 18 inches Wall 4 Conventional 40 S&W 165 gr. Hollow Point Gelatin Penetration Wall 3 More than 12 inches More than 12 inches More than 12 inches Wall 2 More than 12 inches Wall 1 NOTE: Results of internal testing. Individual results may not be identical. In this test, Guard Dog ® shows superior expansion performance through wall barriers. PD40GRD shot at 15 feet expands on contact for maximum energy transfer. Most conventional hollow points do not reliably expand through wallboard allowing the bullet to pass through more walls. Results: Guard Dog® did not penetrate the gelatin when shot through three or four walls. Conventional JHPs penetrate more than 12 inches after four walls. PREMIUM® HANDGUN BALLISTICS FEDERAL LOAD NO.

Black Cloud® helped put the FLITECONTROL wad on the map, and its performance remains unmatched. Over the years, our product development team optimized this system for new platforms. Today you’ll find the FLITECONTROL wad combined with shot to match it in our pheasant, turkey, waterfowl and buckshot offerings. Learn what makes the FLITECONTROL wad, and the payloads it’s combined with, so much different. And so much better. FLITESTOPPER® TECHNOLOGY 1 Cutting edge: Get cutting power with no loss of penetration. FLITESTOPPER pellets create a massive wound cavity that devastates game on impact. 2 Shot mix: By staging FLITESTOPPER pellets with different proportions of standard round shot, we’re able to control the pattern and flight characteristics and tailor them to specific applications. 42 SHOTSHELL RESOURCE GUIDE The Science Of FLITECONTROL ® 1 2 Petals: Open in the rear to create an air brake. This separates the wad and shot at the perfect time and leads to consistent, dense patterns. Windows: Open on side of wad to allow air in and help stimulate the payload for separation from the wad. 3 Payload: FLITECONTROL wad is combined with unique shot types tailored to the target game species to get optimum performance. Special Wads, Specific Applications Although all FLITECONTROL® wads work on the same design principle, they vary from one Federal Premium® offering to the next. The difference can be found in subtle variations in the wad’s rear-opening petals and the height of the window openings. Our engineers adjust these features to dial in when the wad releases from the payload. Combined with specialized shot, the system results in a pattern that’s tailor-made for the situation— whether it’s decoying ducks at close range, dropping a high-flying rooster or taking down a hung-up gobbler. conventional wad Conventional wads peel from the front, allowing pellets to scatter widely. This means fewer pellets on target, less impact energy and fewer downed birds. FEDERALPREMIUM.COM 43 ® ® premium premium SHOTSHELL RIFLE Thanks to Federal Premium® slugs, shotguns are no longer short-range firearms—they are true precision shooting instruments. Our Trophy® Copper Sabot Slug offers unparalleled accuracy through rifled barrels, and the TruBall® rifled slug provides smoothbore shooters a long-awaited edge on big game. Forget what you think you know about slug accuracy and range—these loads change everything. TRUBALL® SMOOTHBORE OPTIONS The TruBall® rifled slug system is the most consistent group-togroup smoothbore slug on the market. It’s capable of taking a five-shot 4.5-inch spread of conventional smoothbore slugs and shrinking it to 1.4-inch at 50 yards. The TruBall system locks the components together, centering and pushing the slug out of the barrel. This promotes clean separation of components after muzzle exit to ensure greater downrange accuracy. 44 PREMIUM® BIG GAME THE NEW STANDARD IN 200-YARD ACCURACY Trophy ® Copper Construction Unique two-part sabot design provides superior projectile base support and a clean launch mechanism for the ultimate slug accuracy Deep, externally skived slug cavity for consistent, superior penetration across a broad velocity range Patent Pending Polymer tip and sleek profile increase the ballistic coefficient for higher downrange velocity and energy The wad’s “pusher plate” keeps the slug perfectly centered down the barrel. Five-shot 3.7-inch group achieved with 12-gauge 3-inch 300-grain Trophy® Copper Sabot Slug (P151 TC) from a rifled accuracy barrel at 200 yards.

With our Hunters For Conservation® wide array of offerings, you’ll find the perfect load to match your type of hunting. Hunters have always been the cornerstone of conservation in America. We support it through hunting license fees and through the Pittman-Robertson excise tax on guns and ammunition. These taxes have raised more than $7.1 billion since 1937. Hunters also passed the laws that created seasons and bag limits to sustain game populations. Our efforts brought back the wild turkey, white-tailed deer and elk, but they have also enabled the recovery of the bald eagle and countless non-game species. At Federal Premium® we are committed to conservation because our future depends on it.

But bullets have always lagged behind, limiting range, accuracy and terminal performance. Federal Premium’s B.O.R. Lock MZ™ System changes everything. No detaching sabot, no belt—it’s a whole new class of bullet. Consistent. Accurate. Easy to Clean & Easy Loading The rear of the B.O.R. Lock MZ™ cup features a hard, fiber-reinforced polymer ring that scours fouling from the breech as the bullet is pushed into place. This decreases the need to clean between shots and makes it easy to seat the bullet at the exact same depth for every shot. Because there’s no bulky sabot, required loading force averages about half that of most sabot bullets. load. A true 200-yard muzzleloader projectile. Its exclusive, Colorado-legal system efficiently engages the rifling and seals the bore, optimizing velocity and accuracy. So whether you choose the Trophy® Copper bullet or our hard-hitting lead option, you’ll transform your muzzleloader into the longrange performer it can be. Consistent And Deadly The new Trophy® Copper Muzzleloader Bullet’s B.O.R. Lock MZ™ system deserves most of the credit for its long-range accuracy and consistency. But it owes its terminal performance to the proven Trophy Copper bullet design. The all-copper projectile features a polymer tip, with a deep, hollow cavity and skiving that provides consistent, devastating expansion. Its high ballistic coefficient produces a flat trajectory and minimal wind drift. 62 PREMIUM® Muzzleloading Trophy® Copper Muzleloader Bullet 15.875 inches penetration Gel shot with a 270-grain Trophy® Copper Muzzleloader Bullet (PMZ50TC1) through a Traditions™ Vortek™ rifle with 100 grains of pelletized powder at 100 yards. The all-copper bullet design and skiving ensure full expansion at a wide range of velocities. 200-Yard ACCURACY B.O.R. LOCK MZ™ IN ACTION Pre-Ignition Before ignition, the polymer cup remains positioned at the rear of the bullet, with the forward obturating ramp exposed. At this point, only the fiber-reinforced base of the cup is in contact with the barrel. Ignition At ignition, the polymer cup slides forward and over both obturating ramps, creating the bullet’s bearing surface and engaging the rifling. The resulting gas seal is incredibly efficient, optimizing accuracy, velocity, consistency and shooter confidence. PREMIUM® MUZZLELOADING PRODUCT NO.
