Saw this in the store today. I had no idea Federal was making powder coated ammo. They're calling it "Syntech Range" ammo, saying it has a "synthetic jacket." At $0.50/rnd they're touting it as "low-cost range ammo."
I took a peek at the back of the box and it's only showing ~890fps.
That's a powder coated lead slug. It has to be cheaper than copper jacketed, but no significant price difference from regular jacketed ammo.
Harrumph.
