The Federal PF1544 Premium Wing-Shok Pheasant Forever delivers consistent high-velocity performance for upland bird hunting with copper-plated shot and precision-engineered wads. This 12-gauge load combines Federal's proven ballistics technology with support for habitat conservation through the Pheasant Forever partnership.
What Makes This Different
Federal's Wing-Shok technology uses specialized wad design and shot buffering to maintain pellet roundness and reduce deformation during barrel travel. The copper-plated 4 shot resists flattening better than standard lead shot, delivering more uniform patterns at hunting distances. High antimony content in the shot alloy provides additional hardness for improved penetration on tough-feathered birds like roosters and late-season pheasants.
Key Features
- Copper-plated 4 shot with high antimony content for maximum pellet integrity
- Premium one-piece wad system reduces shot deformation and improves patterns
- High-velocity 1,350 fps muzzle velocity for flat trajectory and quick kills
- 1 1/4 oz shot charge provides dense patterns at 30-40 yard ranges
- 2.75-inch hull compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns including 3-inch chambers
- Pheasant Forever partnership supports upland habitat conservation
- Federal's quality control ensures consistent lot-to-lot performance
Field testing demonstrates effective pattern density on pheasants, grouse, and similar-sized upland birds at typical hunting distances. The high-velocity load performs well in windy conditions where quick follow-up shots may be necessary. The copper plating reduces lead fouling in barrels while maintaining pellet energy downrange for clean harvests.
