The Federal Prairie Storm FS delivers consistent patterns and devastating terminal performance for upland bird hunters demanding reliable knockdown power. This 20-gauge load combines FliteControl Flex wad technology with premium shot to maximize pellet density at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
FliteControl Flex wad technology sets Prairie Storm apart from conventional upland loads by maintaining tighter patterns while allowing rear pellets to separate for improved target coverage. The specialized wad design reduces flyers and maintains pellet energy downrange better than traditional wads. Premium copper-plated shot resists deformation during firing, delivering more uniform patterns and deeper penetration on game birds.
Key Features
- FliteControl Flex wad technology for superior pattern control
- Premium copper-plated #4 shot for consistent deformation resistance
- 3-inch magnum shell length for maximum payload capacity
- 1-1/4 ounce shot charge delivers substantial knockdown power
- High-velocity loading optimized for 20-gauge performance
- Reliable Federal brass and primer components
- 25 rounds per box packaging for extended field sessions
Field testing demonstrates Prairie Storm's ability to maintain effective patterns beyond 40 yards, extending reliable range for challenging shots on pheasant, grouse, and prairie chickens. The #4 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for medium-sized upland game. Weather-resistant components ensure reliable ignition in humid conditions and temperature extremes.
