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. More information will be released soon after the SHOT Show.
