The Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS 20 Gauge 2.75-Inch 1oz #6 Shot (brand part no. PFX204FS6) mixes standard pellets with FLITESTOPPER lead to produce full, consistent patterns through any upland choke. Federal Ammunition builds this load around the rear-opening FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, the same controlled-release wad technology used across its premium shotshell lines. Excellent retained velocity and energy translate directly into increased lethality and fewer lost birds in the field. In shotgun shells for upland bird hunting, this is Federal’s flagship 20 gauge Prairie Storm loading.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FLITESTOPPER lead? It’s a specially shaped pellet Federal mixes into the payload alongside standard shot, designed to work with the FliteControl Flex wad for full, consistent patterns through any upland choke.
Why does retained energy matter for upland hunting? Higher retained velocity and energy downrange increase lethality on birds hit at the edge of effective range, reducing the number of wounded birds that get away.
How many rounds come in a box? Each box holds 25 rounds of 20 Gauge.
