2019-Federal-Shorty-Shotshell--1 3/4"

Federal Premium Ammunition is launching a new series of 1 3/4"-long Shorty 12-ga. shotgun shells for sporting, hunting and defensive applications. Modern 2 3/4" and 3" shells contain plastic wads that take up much of the empty space that used to be filled by the bulkier black powders. Trimming down a 12-ga. shell to 1 3/4" eliminates that empty space while preserving the payloads at nearly the same performance found in longer shells. As a result, more rounds can fit into a shotgun’s tubular magazine as well as the pockets and pouches of enthusiasts in the field. Federal’s Shorty shells will be sold in 10-round boxes. The first three offerings include a 15/16-oz. No. 8 lead bird shot load with a listed velocity of 1145 f.p.s. for $5.95 and both a 15-pellet, No. 4 buckshot load and a foster-style, 1-oz. rifled slug load at 1200 f.p.s. with a suggested retail price of $11.95. federalpremium.com

Ha ha what will our restricters do when they insist on our shotguns having no more than five rounds?

Probably ban the short ammo?

ie lever action shotguns with tubular mags. But I also have a pumpp action shotgun on a primary producers licence. Bloody rusty though. My father kept it a shed. Needs a lot of work to cleam it up.

I wonder how these pattern compared to normal shotshells with wads? Which often are designed to protect the shot in the barrel.

Funny little things.

I wonder if they will be suitable for use in nitroguns with 2" chambers.

Our shotguns are restricted to 3 round capacity during migratory game season - ducks/geese/doves. That means the tube magazine can only contain 2 rounds.

Sounds as if 7 will fit in a 3 round tube magazine for a 3 1/2" plugged Mossy, that actually holds 2 1/2, 3 1/2" rounds. COOL!
That's 10 or 11 in the non-plugged tube.

LOL - thinking of the slug load, here.

We had the same restriction when I was a kid in N Dakota for migratory game season..Personally think this is awesome...

Like your idea of slugs Daryl..
