ANOKA, Minnesota – February 20, 2026 – Federal Ammunition has officially begun shipping its Federal Realtree 40th Anniversary ammunition , commemorating four decades of Realtree’s iconic camouflage patterns with a special limited-run version of Federal Premium® HEAVYWEIGHT TSS and Grand Slam turkey loads.
Realtree Limited Edition “Realtree has played a major role in modern turkey hunting for 40 years, and this ammunition is a fitting way to celebrate that legacy,” said Federal’s Shotshell Product Line Director Dan Compton. “By pairing our proven HEAVYWEIGHT TSS and Grand Slam turkey loads with Realtree’s camouflage, we’re giving turkey hunters a commemorative option that delivers the excellent performance they rely on in the field. Plus, the Realtree 40th Anniversary Edition packaging just looks cool.”
HEAVYWEIGHT TSS shotshells feature Tungsten Super Shot payloads that provide the highest pellet counts possible. At 18 g/cc, the tungsten-alloy is 56 percent denser than lead for the most energy and highest velocities at extreme range. Its rear-braking FLITECONTROL FLEX wad performs flawlessly through both ported and standard turkey chokes, delivering the most consistent, deadly patterns possible. The limited-run packaging features Realtree Legacy camouflage.
