Hello,
Sold a fellow a 16ga. and he wants to do some waterfowl shooting and of course needs non lead in federal sites, but having problems finding any. Been told Federal offers them and curious if anyone can verify that or offer other sources ?? Thanks

They have tungsten as the option for non-toxics in 16-gauge. Very good ballistics for waterfowl at closer ranges. I used #5s on waterfowl before the steel only and these matrix pellets are heavier than lead so you get away with smaller shot sizes. This is like ~#2s in traditional steel

Here is one from the PHEASANT & GAME LOADS
K162UGNT36-5 16 2 3/4" MAX 1265 1 1/4 oz. 5
K162UGNT30-5 16 2 3/4" MAX 1315 1 1/16 oz. 5
