Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS 12 Gauge 3-Inch #5 Shot, 25-Round Box

Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS 12 Gauge 3-Inch #5 Shot, 25-Round Box (brand part no. PFX129FS5) is built for upland hunters who want a magnum-length shell without giving up pattern quality when a rooster flushes wild. Federal starts every Premium load with primers inspected more frequently for dimensional tolerance and charge weight, then loads a mixed payload of standard pellets and harder FliteStopper lead through the rear-opening FliteControl Flex wad, which keeps the pattern full and consistent through any upland choke. The 3-inch hull carries a full 1-5/8 ounce payload of #5 shot, giving retained velocity and energy that translates into fewer wounded, unrecovered birds. For pheasant, chukar, and other upland game, this is a serious 12 gauge load for hunters who cover a lot of ground.
