Federal Podium wads are a reloading component developed for 12-gauge target loads. The cylinder-shaped compression zone supports and cushions the payload at ignition to reduce deformation and help deliver more consistent patterns. The soft-shooting profile and unique geometry are intended for use in target and sporting clays applications and are compatible with tapered hulls.
