Federal Ammunition has started sending dealers two new 20-gauge Master Class shotshells built for sporting clays. The loads combine a Podium wad, a straight-wall hull, primers, high-antimony lead shot, and selected propellants.

Federal engineers also teamed with Rob Roberts Custom Gunworks in fall 2025 on Raptor Steel waterfowl ammunition, which is now reaching dealers nationwide for autumn hunts.

Remington has four new Royal Flush grouse and quail loads: two 12-gauge options at 1,300 feet per second and two 20-gauge options at 1,220 feet per second, made for small upland birds.
