The Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS 20 Gauge #4 Shot (part no. PFSX207FS4) loads 7/8 ounces of #4 steel shot in a 20 gauge hull, 3 inches long, built for hunters who need a compliant non-toxic option. Federal Ammunition combines the FliteControl Flex wad with a mixed FliteStopper lead payload in Prairie Storm FS, built to put more pellets on fast-flushing upland birds. Steel shot gives this load the non-toxic payload waterfowl hunting requires by federal law. In shotgun shells for waterfowl hunters, this is a load built for exactly that job.
