Fed Grand Slam 12ga 3.5" 2oz #5 10/5

Federal Premium Grand Slam 12ga 3.5" 2oz #5 ammunition delivers extended range and superior pattern consistency for waterfowl hunting. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad system represents a meaningful advancement in shot placement, functioning reliably in both standard and ported turkey chokes. This wad design opens from the rear, ensuring controlled payload release and the dense, uniform patterns that define ethical harvesting at distance.

The 2-ounce #5 shot load combines high-quality copper-plated lead pellets with advanced buffering compound, reducing deformation during acceleration and maintaining energy retention downrange. The 3.5-inch magnum case delivers the velocity and payload volume necessary for consistent performance on larger waterfowl species. Copper plating enhances pattern density by preventing pellet-to-pellet adhesion in the shot column, translating directly to more uniform spread and tighter clusters at typical hunting distances.

Hunters pursuing ducks and geese across variable conditions benefit from ammunition engineered to perform in both open and tight chokes. The #5 shot size offers the ballistic advantage of reduced wind drift compared to larger pellets while maintaining sufficient striking energy. Each box contains 10 rounds, providing serious shooters a consistent, field-proven option for high-volume practice or guided seasons where reliable, repeatable performance matters.

Federal ammunition manufacturing standards ensure consistent powder charges, primer ignition, and shot column integrity. Ammunition selection remains a critical component of hunting success—pairing the right load to your shotgun, choke combination, and intended quarry directly impacts both ethical harvest and accuracy at distance.
