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.
