Fed Pr Strm 28ga 3" 7/8oz #6 25/250

Federal Prairie Storm 28ga 3" 7/8oz #6 shot shells are purpose-built for upland game hunting where consistent, tight patterns and reliable performance matter. These rounds represent the preferred choice for serious hunters and sporting clay competitors who demand ammunition that delivers predictable results across varying choke tubes and shooting conditions. The 28-gauge delivers reduced recoil compared to larger gauges while maintaining the downrange energy needed for clean, ethical harvests on pheasant, quail, and similar upland species.

The engineering behind these shells centers on Federal's FLITECONTROL FLEX wad system—a rear-opening design that separates cleanly from the shot charge to eliminate pellet deformation caused by traditional wads. The payload combines standard lead pellets with FLITESTOPPER lead, a denser material that maintains velocity and impact energy at distance. This mixed-payload approach produces denser, more uniform patterns than conventional loads, ensuring that your effective shooting range extends further while minimizing erratic shot distribution. The 7/8-ounce charge in a 3-inch hull balances payload weight with manageable recoil in lighter-framed shotguns.

This ammunition performs optimally in 28-gauge shotguns regardless of choke constriction, from improved cylinder to full, making it adaptable to a wide range of field situations and hunting platforms. Number 6 shot size suits upland bird hunting where penetration must balance with minimal meat damage and reasonable pellet count per charge. Each case contains 25 rounds, packaged for convenient transport and storage in the field. Shooters will find these rounds particularly effective in over-under and side-by-side configurations where the reduced recoil allows faster, more accurate follow-up shots on fast-flushing game.
