I went to the local "everything a guy could want" store (Mills Fleet Farm) on Sunday, and, more out of habit than necessity, picked up some ammo. To my surprise, the traditional Federal offerings (Premium, Classic, etc.) were no longer available. Instead, the packaging is entirely different and the rounds are now labelled with names like "Ultra Shok," "Vital Shok," "Power Shok," and "Speed Shok." This was true for the buckshot as well as the rifle cartridges. I checked out Federal's website tonight, and sure enough, that seems to be how they're labelling things now.
Seems like they're still using the word "Premium" (in conjunction with the Shok designation) to describe some of the upper-end rounds, but otherwise I haven't quite figured out the new nomenclature. Anyone figured this out yet?
