Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the Federal Grand Slam 10 Gauge ammunition effective for turkey hunting?

A: The Federal Grand Slam 10 Gauge ammunition is highly effective for turkey hunting due to its powerful 2 oz payload of #5 copper-plated lead shot, 3.5" shell length, and the innovative FliteControl Flex wad. This combination provides extended range, dense patterns, and superior energy transfer, making it lethal for turkeys at longer distances.

Q: What is the FliteControl Flex wad and how does it benefit the shooter?

A: The FliteControl Flex wad is a specialized wad designed by Federal that works in both standard and ported choke tubes. It opens from the rear for a controlled release of the shot payload, resulting in denser patterns and improved accuracy. This technology allows hunters to achieve consistent, tight patterns at extended ranges, increasing their effective hunting distance.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

A: The muzzle velocity of the Federal Grand Slam 10 Gauge 3 1/2" 2 oz #5 Shot ammunition is 1200 feet per second (fps). This high velocity contributes to the ammunition's extended range and increased energy delivery on target.

Q: How many shells come in a box and case of this ammunition?

A: This Federal Grand Slam ammunition comes in boxes of 10 shells each. A full case contains 5 boxes, for a total of 50 shells per case.

Q: Is this ammunition safe to use in all 10 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 10 gauge shotguns, it's crucial to ensure your firearm is rated for 3.5" shells. Not all 10 gauge shotguns can safely chamber and fire 3.5" shells. Always consult your shotgun's manual or a qualified gunsmith to confirm compatibility before use.
