Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS Lead shotshells deliver exceptional performance for upland hunting. These 20 gauge shells use the innovative Flitecontrol Flex wad and a mixed payload of standard and Flitestopper lead pellets to produce full, consistent patterns through any upland choke. The combination of 70% standard copper-plated lead and 30% Flitestopper lead creates even edge-to-edge patterns and larger wound channels, increasing lethality and reducing lost birds. With a 3-inch shell length, 1 1/4 oz of #5 shot, and a muzzle velocity of 1300 fps, these shells offer excellent retained velocity and energy for taking down tough upland game.
