ANOKA, Minnesota – – Federal Ammunition is bringing back the classic feel of upland hunting with the launch of its new Upland Paper shotshells. These shells offer the nostalgic look, feel, and even smell of traditional paper hulls while delivering modern performance for upland and small game hunters. The new shotshells are now shipping to retailers nationwide.
"Hunters who appreciate the heritage of upland bird hunting will love the new Upland Paper shotshells," said Josh Vickers, Federal Shotshell Product Manager. "We've combined the classic waxed-paper hull with Premium® copper-plated lead shot, a precision wad, and high-quality components to deliver the best of both tradition and performance. New Upland Paper is ideal for pheasants, grouse, quail, and small game."
Each Upland Paper shell features a Federal-exclusive waxed-paper hull, maintaining the vintage aesthetic while providing reliable performance in the field. Inside, a wad column optimized for paper hulls enhances pattern consistency, while extra-hard, copper-plated shot ensures deep penetration and uniform patterns for maximum effectiveness. Select high-quality propellant and primers to ensure efficient ignition and clean-burning reliability.
The new Upland Paper shotshells are available in three 12-gauge and three 20-gauge options, with shot sizes of 4, 5, and 6, giving hunters the perfect choice for various upland game scenarios.
