This time of year I shoot my way through a few boxes of 12 gauge game loads. Usually Federal as they are readily available at the local Walmart. Today I picked up a couple more boxes and noticed that the hulls were labeled differently. No Federal logo but instead a picture of a bird and the words Pine Creek. I've searched around on the internet but can't find any info. Does anyone here know anything about these? Here's a pic along with a standard Federal shell. I'm sure it won't make any difference to the rabbits but I'm just curious. Thanks   |

Does the headstamp say Federal?

Does the headstamp say Federal? Yes. Headstamp on both are the same. |

Thanks! I will look at the local WalMart tomorrow. What does it say on the box?

That's weird. I wonder if they were made for a certain gun club and or shooting preserve some got out to the public by mistake?

I didn't realize you could have custom shells made. Would be a cool gift idea. Kind of like having your own personalized golf balls made up. |

It would have to be one or the other for me, that's for sure. |

I could insert many things for "shotgun"... including hunting, reloading, fishing, wife, kid, groceries, bills, etc., etc, etc. Lol |
