Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS 28 Gauge 3-Inch 7/8 oz #6 Shot, 25-Round Box

Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS Lead in 28 gauge (part no. FEPFX285FS 6) brings the sub-gauge upland hunter a serious 3-inch payload without giving up pattern quality. Federal Ammunition loads 7/8 ounce of #6 shot as a mixed payload of standard pellets and FliteStopper lead, launched from the rear-opening FliteControl Flex wad that keeps patterns full and consistent through any upland choke. The result is a 28 gauge that folds wild-flushing roosters like a bigger bore. For hunters who carry a light gun but refuse light performance, these shotgun shells are the upland answer.
