    I just Picked up some FEDDERS Russian-made shells, 12ga, 1oz,1280fps, 7.5 shot. Anyone with good/bad experience with these shells? they are new to me for sure.

    Your right, and at this point in the ammo shortage, any ammo is good ammo.
    The weird part is I never even heard of Russian shotshells until 2 weeks ago when I heard that we now banned Russian ammo imports into USA.

    I knew a hooker years ago that liked to eat caviar while she drank Stoli. Nice enough when she was sober.

    AJ Supplies had some 1oz 1290fps made-in-Russia at MI's Fall Team Shoot this past weekend, $80/flat IIRC. I was tempted but was looking for something slower for double's first shot.

    I have been shooting the Fedders, 7.5, 1280fps, for the last 3 weeks, approx 3 to 400 a week, no misfires, from 16, breakem all Jeff,
    And even at 1280, the kick is no more, maybe less than my other shells 1145fps, again I only shoot from 16 so not sure what they will or won't do from other distances?
    These were the only shells available and to this date, I'm pleased, Maybe the speed rating is overrated? Unsure how they measure the speed in Russia, but the kick is very mild through my CG Summit, also they are not dirty er than any other brand shells I have shot in the last 1.5 year, Winchester, Remington, Federals. So in my opinion and all have one, I would not hesitate to purchase more even know the Russian ban is now in effect. go figure lol, Would prefer to have some #8 s but beggars can't be choosers.
