The Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS 12 Gauge delivers devastating terminal performance through its innovative FliteControl Flex wad technology and premium copper-plated shot. This 3-inch magnum load pushes 1-5/8 ounces of #4 shot at high velocity for maximum knockdown power on upland birds and waterfowl.
What Makes This Different
Prairie Storm FS ammunition features Federal's exclusive FliteControl Flex wad that opens from the rear, allowing the front portion to stay with the shot column longer for improved pattern density. The copper-plated shot resists deformation during barrel travel, maintaining pellet roundness for better penetration and energy transfer. This technology produces patterns up to 25% tighter than conventional loads at extended ranges.
Key Features
- FliteControl Flex wad technology for superior pattern control and density
- Premium copper-plated #4 shot resists deformation for maximum penetration
- 3-inch magnum shell with 1-5/8 ounce payload for increased knockdown power
- High-velocity load optimized for 30-50 yard shots on medium to large birds
- Consistent ignition through Federal's proven primer and powder combinations
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing convenience
- Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells
Field testing demonstrates consistent patterns with this load maintaining effective density at ranges where standard loads begin to thin out. The #4 shot size provides an optimal balance of pellet count and individual pellet energy for pheasants, ducks, and similar-sized game. The magnum charge delivers flat trajectories and hard-hitting performance in challenging wind conditions.
