Zooming Out
These introductions from Federal aren’t necessarily new products but rather extensions of existing lines that fill obvious gaps. The Power-Shok and Punch lines aim to offer greater value, while Terminal Ascent has become Federal’s preferred line for hunters. Prices will vary depending on caliber and product line.
