Federal Prairie Storm FS Lead 12 Gauge 3" shotshells are designed for superior upland game hunting performance. These shells utilize the FLITECONTROL wad and a mixed payload of 70% standard copper-plated lead pellets and 30% FLITESTOPPER lead pellets. This combination produces full, consistent patterns with excellent retained velocity and energy, resulting in increased lethality and fewer lost birds. The FLITESTOPPER pellets create bigger wound channels, enhancing the stopping power of each shot.
