FED PR STORM 12GA 2.75″ #5 LD 25/250

Description

Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS is built for hunters who work open country for pheasant, sharptail grouse, and other hard-flying upland birds that demand reach and dense patterns. The load is designed around Federal’s FliteControl Flex wad, which holds the shot column together longer than a conventional wad before releasing it cleanly, producing tighter, more even patterns at the ranges where upland birds are typically taken. That consistency matters most on crossing shots and late-season birds that have learned to flush wild.

The payload is 1¼ ounces of hard lead #5 shot, a size that balances pellet count against individual pellet energy well for pheasant-weight birds at field distances. Velocity runs high enough to keep that energy meaningful at the outer edge of practical range without the payload being so light that pattern density suffers. The 2¾-inch shell fits any standard 12-gauge field gun without chamber length concerns, so hunters running a wide variety of over-unders, side-by-sides, or pump guns can run this load without modification.

Boxes are packed 25 rounds, and cases contain 10 boxes for 250 rounds total — a quantity that makes sense for guides, hunters running multiple days afield, or anyone who wants to pattern-test thoroughly before the season opens. Federal uses the Prairie Storm FS designation specifically for this lead-shot FliteControl Flex variant, keeping it distinct from the non-toxic versions in the Prairie Storm line so there is no ambiguity when ordering for fields with no lead restrictions.
