Federal Grand Slam 12 Gauge shotshells are designed for serious turkey hunters. These 3-inch shells are loaded with 1-3/4 ounces of #6 copper-plated lead shot, propelled at a velocity of 1200 fps. The FliteControl Flex wad system ensures dense, consistent patterns through both standard and ported turkey chokes. Advanced buffering prevents pellet deformation, while the roll crimp and clear card wad keep the buffering in place. This ammunition delivers the range, pattern density, and energy needed to effectively take down gobblers at extended distances.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the Federal Grand Slam 12 Gauge ammunition effective for turkey hunting?

A: The Federal Grand Slam 12 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 opens from the rear for a controlled release of the payload, resulting in extremely consistent and dense patterns. The 1-3/4 oz of high-quality copper-plated #6 lead shot provides ample energy to take down turkeys at extended ranges.

Q: What is the shot size and weight of this ammunition?

A: This Federal Grand Slam ammunition uses #6 shot size with a payload weight of 1-3/4 oz (49.6 grams). This combination of shot size and weight provides an excellent balance of pattern density and energy for effectively harvesting turkeys.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

A: The Federal Grand Slam 12 Gauge 3" shells have a muzzle velocity of 1200 feet per second (fps). This velocity provides flat trajectories and maintains energy downrange for consistent performance on turkeys.

Q: How many shells are in a box and case?

A: Each box of Federal Grand Slam 12 Gauge ammunition contains 10 shells. A full case consists of 5 boxes, totaling 50 shells per case.

Q: Is this ammunition safe to use in all 12-gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns, it's important to note that it's a 3" shell. It should only be used in shotguns specifically chambered for 3" or 3.5" shells. Always check your shotgun's chamber length before using this ammunition. Do not use 3" shells in shotguns chambered only for 2-3/4" shells.

Q: Does this ammunition contain lead?

A: Yes, this Federal Grand Slam ammunition uses copper-plated lead shot. While highly effective for turkey hunting, it may not be legal for use in certain areas that require non-toxic shot. Always check local regulations before using lead-based ammunition for hunting.
