Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS 12 Gauge 3-inch #4 shot shells (Federal part no. PFSX143FS4) combine two of Federal’s proprietary pattern technologies into one dedicated upland load. Federal Ammunition builds Prairie Storm around its FLITECONTROL FLEX wad and FLITESTOPPER pellet technology, working together to keep patterns consistent at extended range. Federal starts every Premium load with rigorously inspected primers and clean-burning propellants for reliable ignition shot after shot. Independent testing shows this load putting more than 75 percent of its pellets inside a 30-inch circle at 40 yards, giving upland hunters real confidence on longer flushes.
