Host Bob St.Pierre chats with Federal Ammunition's Vice President of Marketing Jason Nash and Director of Community Relations Jon Zinnel about the innovative new Prairie Storm Bismuth Blend shotgun loads available in 12 and 20-gauge this summer. WATCH Federal's video about the new load. There's also some fun banter about the NFC North, Bon Iver, and moose vs. elk for dinner.

Episode Highlights:
  • Nash explains that Federal, CCI, HEVI-Shot, Remington, Speer, and now Fiocchi are all part of The Kinetic Group of ammunition brands.
  • Zinnel highlights Federal Ammunition's role as the largest contributor to Pittman-Robertson funding through the excise tax on firearms and ammunition, while also serving as a major corporate partner of non-profit conservation organizations, including Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever.
  • Nash talks about Federal Ammunition's ground-breaking move in 1961 to make all 20-gauge shells yellow to help promote safety and prevent confusion with 12-gauge shells. The guys also discuss some of the reasons behind the other colored shells.
