class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We gave Cosmic UV creative printing on the shell and a Podium wad that fluoresces under blacklight \u2026 The graphics and neon printing on the shell and box are fun, but the UV-powered wad allows you to track the wad as it leaves your barrel. These features combine for a truly unique shooting experience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Federal Cosmic shotshells have an MSRP of $16.99 per 25-round box and they\u2019re available now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalpremium.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">federalpremium.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3 id=\"h-more-shotgun-stuff\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More Shotgun Stuff<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-27\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 20px; border-radius: 10px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-271572\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-271572\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #333; text-align: center;\">Next Step: Get your FREE Printable Target Pack<\/h2>\n<p>Enhance your shooting precision with our 62 MOA Targets, perfect for rifles and handguns.
