Whether for range use, personal defense or hunting, Federal’s new Shorty shotshells pack a similar punch to their bigger brothers in a small, 1¾-inch shell.

Speed and payload are up there with the big boys, so you don’t have to sacrifice performance to enjoy a day at the range or afield without your shoulder taking a beating. MSRP: $5.95-$11.95 per 10-rnd. box; federalpremium.com.
