2021’s best new hunting gear: Fantastic firearms and ammo for Canadian hunters

PRAIRIE STORM 16- AND 28-GAUGE

Upland bird hunters who favour sub-gauge shotguns will want to try Federal’s new Prairie Storm loads in 16- and 28-gauge, which combine 70 per cent copper-plated lead with 30 per cent FS nickel-plated, lead-belted pellets. The integrated Flex Wad, meanwhile, offers consistent pattern density. The 16-gauge is offered in #4, #5 and #6 shot, while the 28 comes in #6.
