The Federal PFX154FS6 Premium Prairie Storm FS delivers exceptional knockdown power for upland game hunting with its innovative FliteControl Flex wad technology. This 12-gauge ammunition combines Federal's proven ballistics expertise with specialized wad design that maintains tight patterns at extended ranges while ensuring reliable expansion on impact.
What Makes This Different
The FliteControl Flex wad system sets this ammunition apart from standard upland loads by maintaining pellet velocity and pattern density through longer flight paths. While conventional wads can cause pattern degradation beyond 30 yards, the Prairie Storm FS maintains consistent 70% pattern density at 40 yards. The copper-plated lead shot resists deformation during barrel transit, delivering 15% better penetration than standard lead pellets.
Key Features
- FliteControl Flex wad technology maintains tight patterns to 40+ yards
- Copper-plated #6 shot pellets for enhanced penetration and retained energy
- 1-1/4 ounce payload delivers 383 pellets per shell for dense pattern coverage
- 2.75-inch hull compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns including semi-autos
- 1,425 fps muzzle velocity provides flat trajectory for quick target acquisition
- Federal brass heads and quality primers ensure consistent ignition
- 25-round boxes packaged in 10-box cases for volume purchasing
Field performance demonstrates this load's effectiveness on pheasant, grouse, and quail across varying terrain conditions. The #6 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for birds weighing 1-3 pounds. Hunters report clean kills at ranges extending to 45 yards with proper shot placement. The load cycles reliably in gas-operated semi-automatics while producing manageable recoil in lighter shotguns.
