Federal introduces a 12-gauge FITASC-qualified Gold Medal® Paper load for sporting clays shooters. When the pressure is on and it matters most, the best shooters look to Federal Premium® Gold Medal target shotshells. In addition, Federal adds 12 and 20-gauge steel options suitable for the field or the range.

Passionate Shooters Choose Gold Medal®
Gold Medal target loads have built their reputation on consistent and uniform patterns every shot, without exception. The hot 209A primer and extra-hard shot have made Gold Medal a constant for shooters competing in the country’s top events.

These new loads feature the same Premium® components and cater to serious sporting clays shooters. The Gold Medal FITASC Paper loads now available get impressive performance with every pull of the trigger.

“Our Gold Medal line is for shooters who demand the most consistent and reliable target shotshells,” said Kyle Tengwall, director of marketing. “And these new paper FITASC loads are no exception. They get impressive performance with a fast, 1-ounce payload. They also provide a little extra satisfaction and nostalgic feeling with that paper hull. The smell alone makes people remember what real performance is all about.”

Affordable Steel Options for Clays and Birds
The requirement to shoot steel or non-lead shot at the range or in the field is becoming more common. Because of this, Federal introduces 12 and 20-gauge loads that provide consistent, reliable performance in the field or on the range. The new loads are ideal for shooters looking for steel shot options that they can afford, but won’t cost them anything on their score or result in fewer birds in the bag.

“Benelli has done it again,” said Steve Otway, Benelli’s General Manager. “Just when you think that there is nothing truly new in the shotgun world, along comes the Vinci and that world changes forever. Let me tell you, keeping this particular secret has been really hard. Once again, the competition will have some catching-up to do!”

ACCOKEEK, MARYLAND — What’s in the case? It’s a secret! We’d like to show it to you, but it’ll be under wraps for a while longer. We can tell you that the case holds a real treasure-a new shotgun from Benelli that will revolutionize the entire concept of the semi-automatic shotgun world. Driven by the Benelli passion for simplicity and efficiency, Benelli engineers have given birth to the gun they call the Vinci. They have drawn their inspiration from the great Renaissance artist, scientist and inventor, Leonardo Da Vinci. Master Leonardo was a man ahead of his time and his notebooks, filled with far-seeing inventions and ideas, show that he pushed the boundaries of his world and always thought outside the box, or in this instance-inside the case.

While we can’t show you what’s inside the case, we can reveal that the new Vinci will redefine the architecture of the semi-automatic shotgun. You’ll have to take our word on it for a little while longer, but remember; the master engineers at Benelli have a legacy that includes many of the world’s great advances in firearm technology. Benelli innovations include the Inertia Drivenâ action in 1967, the Rotating Bolt in 1983, all coming together the following year with the landmark Super Black Eagle-the original 3 ½-inch Magnum shotgun. The legacy also includes the slick Nova Pump-action introduced in 1998, the ARGO System developed for the M4 in 2000 and the R1 hunting rifle in 2002. Other landmarks include the innovative ComforTechâ recoil reduction system and the Crio Systemâ barrel treatment. When the time comes to own this latest, most modern shotgun model, as the Italians say, tu vince! – You win!
