Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS 12GA 2.75" 1-1/4oz #5 Shot Shells

The Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS delivers exceptional knockdown power for upland hunting with its innovative FliteControl Flex wad technology. This 12-gauge ammunition combines Federal's proven ballistics expertise with specialized shot patterns designed for challenging bird hunting scenarios.

What Makes This Different

The FliteControl Flex wad system sets Prairie Storm apart from conventional upland loads by maintaining tighter patterns at extended ranges while still providing adequate spread for close-range opportunities. The wad's flexible petals deploy differently based on range, creating a versatile shot pattern that adapts to hunting conditions. Federal's nickel-plated shot resists deformation during barrel travel, maintaining pellet roundness for improved penetration and energy transfer.

Key Features

• FliteControl Flex wad technology for adaptive shot patterns
• Nickel-plated #5 shot pellets for enhanced penetration
• 1-1/4 ounce payload delivers substantial knockdown power
• 2.75-inch hull fits all 12-gauge shotguns
• 1,500 fps muzzle velocity for flat trajectory
• Premium brass heads and high-quality hulls for reliable extraction
• 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)

Field performance shows consistent patterns out to 50 yards with this load, making it effective for pheasant, grouse, and similar-sized upland game. The #5 shot size provides an optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, ensuring clean harvests without excessive meat damage. The nickel plating reduces lead fouling in the barrel while maintaining pattern density through extended shooting sessions.
