Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Upland Steel safe to shoot through any choke?
Steel shot is harder than lead and requires a more open choke to prevent barrel damage and maintain safe pressure levels. Federal recommends using Improved Cylinder or Modified chokes at the tightest when shooting steel loads. Avoid using Full or Extra-Full chokes with steel shot, and always verify your shotgun and choke tubes are rated for steel or non-toxic shot before use.
How does #7.5 steel shot compare to lead for dove hunting?
Because steel is less dense than lead, #7.5 steel shot carries less energy per pellet at longer ranges. However, at typical dove hunting distances of 20–35 yards, the high-velocity Federal Upland Steel load compensates effectively, delivering clean kills with adequate pattern density. For ethical harvests at extended ranges, consider stepping up to a larger steel shot size.
How should I store unused shotgun shells from this box?
Store Federal Upland Steel shells in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Keep ammunition in its original packaging and away from children. Properly stored shotgun shells can maintain reliable performance for many years. Avoid storing ammunition near solvents, fuels, or other flammable materials.
