The Federal Premium Grand Slam PFCX156F5 delivers consistent knockdown power for upland game and waterfowl hunting with its proven copper-plated shot design. This 12-gauge load combines Federal's premium components with time-tested performance that hunters have relied on for decades.
What Makes This Different
Grand Slam shells feature copper-plated shot that maintains pellet roundness and reduces deformation during barrel travel, resulting in tighter patterns and improved penetration compared to standard lead shot. The buffered shot column minimizes pellet damage while the one-piece wad design provides consistent shot release. Federal's quality control ensures velocity consistency within 25 fps across the entire production run.
Key Features
- Copper-plated #5 shot maintains pellet integrity for deeper penetration
- 1.5-ounce payload delivers maximum pellet count for dense patterns
- 2.75-inch hull fits all standard 12-gauge chambers
- Buffered shot reduces pellet deformation during firing
- One-piece wad design promotes uniform shot release
- Federal brass-plated steel head for reliable extraction
- High-quality primer ensures consistent ignition in all conditions
These shells excel in medium-range shots on pheasants, grouse, and ducks where penetration matters more than ultra-wide patterns. The 1.5-ounce load provides excellent stopping power while maintaining manageable recoil in most 12-gauge shotguns. The copper plating resists oxidation during storage and maintains ballistic performance across temperature extremes.
