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 Flitecontrol Flex wad system, which works in both standard and ported turkey chokes. This wad system opens from the rear for a controlled release of the payload, resulting in consistent and dense patterns. The 2 oz of #4 copper-plated lead shot provides ample energy and penetration for taking down turkeys at extended ranges.

Q: What is the shot size and material used in this ammunition?

A: This Federal Grand Slam ammunition uses #4 copper-plated lead shot. The copper plating helps maintain pellet roundness and reduces pellet deformation upon firing, contributing to tighter patterns and improved downrange performance.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

A: The muzzle velocity of the Federal Grand Slam 10 Gauge 3 1/2" load is 1200 feet per second (fps). This velocity provides a good balance between power and manageable recoil for the heavy 2 oz payload.

A: Each box of Federal Grand Slam 10 Gauge ammunition contains 10 shells. A full case consists of 5 boxes, totaling 50 shells per case.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 10 gauge shotguns?

A: This ammunition is designed for 10 gauge shotguns that can handle 3 1/2" shells.
