Federal Prairie Storm FS 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4oz #4 Shot 25 Rounds

The Federal Prairie Storm FS 12 Gauge delivers devastating terminal performance on upland game birds through its innovative FliteControl Flex wad technology. This 2.75-inch shell combines 1 1/4 ounces of #4 shot with Federal's advanced wad design to create tighter patterns and increased knockdown power at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

The FliteControl Flex wad system sets Prairie Storm apart from conventional hunting loads by maintaining shot column integrity longer during flight. While standard wads separate immediately upon leaving the barrel, the Flex wad's rear-braking petals deploy gradually, keeping pellets together for 8-10 yards beyond the muzzle. This technology produces patterns up to 25% tighter than comparable loads, extending effective range by 5-7 yards over traditional upland ammunition.

Key Features

• FliteControl Flex wad technology for superior pattern density
• Premium copper-plated #4 shot resists deformation for consistent ballistics
• High-performance primer ensures reliable ignition in cold conditions
• 2.75-inch hull fits all 12-gauge shotguns including semi-automatics
• 1 1/4 ounce payload delivers 1,425 fps muzzle velocity
• 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
• Federal's quality control standards ensure lot-to-lot consistency

Field testing demonstrates Prairie Storm's effectiveness on pheasants, grouse, and quail at ranges extending to 45 yards. The #4 shot size provides optimal penetration for medium upland birds while maintaining sufficient pellet count for reliable hits. Hunters report cleaner kills with less crippling compared to standard field loads, particularly on late-season birds with thick feathers. The load functions reliably in gas-operated semi-automatics without cycling issues.
