Federal Prairie Storm FS Lead uses the rear-opening FLITECONTROL FLEX wad and a mixed payload of standard pellets and FLITESTOPPER lead to produce full consistent patterns through any upland choke. This 16 gauge load features 1 1/8 oz of #4 shot, delivering excellent retained velocity and energy for increased lethality and fewer lost birds. The payload mix of 70 percent standard copper-plated lead and 30 percent FLITESTOPPER lead produces even edge-to-edge patterns, while the FLITESTOPPER pellets create bigger wound channels for maximum effectiveness on upland game.
