Fed Pr Strm 12ga 3" #4stl/#6 25/250

Federal Prairie Storm 12 gauge 3" #4 steel and #6 steel shot ammunition delivers versatile performance for waterfowl, upland game, and tactical applications where mixed shot sizes enhance effective range and pattern density. This 25-round box is engineered for shooters who demand reliability across varied hunting scenarios and training exercises. The combination of #4 and #6 steel pellets offers a balanced ballistic profile—larger #4 pellets penetrate effectively at distance while smaller #6 shot provides denser coverage at closer ranges, making this load adaptable to unpredictable field conditions.

The Federal Prairie Storm platform incorporates the Flightcontrol Flex Wad system, which manages pellet dispersion and maintains consistent patterns throughout the 3-inch chamber. Steel shot requires proper gun specifications to prevent bore damage; all Federal steel ammunition is manufactured to strict pressure and velocity standards to ensure safe function in modern shotguns rated for steel loads. The wad design minimizes deformation and flyaway, controlling shot column integrity from muzzle to target. At one pound per box, this ammunition strikes a practical balance between portability and shot count for extended range sessions.

This load performs best in modern 12-gauge shotguns with steel-shot-compatible barrels and choke tubes rated for non-lead ammunition. Law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian shooters benefit from the predictable ballistics and pattern reliability Federal delivers in the Prairie Storm line. The mixed #4/#6 steel combination is particularly effective for clay target sports, dove and duck hunting, and duty-related training where velocity consistency and safety margins are non-negotiable. Verify your shotgun manufacturer's specifications before firing steel shot to ensure compliance with barrel proof marks and choke restrictions.
