Description
Federal's Grand Slam delivers serious performance when you need it most in the turkey woods. These 3-inch shells are loaded with 1-3/4 ounces of copper-plated lead #6 shot at 1200 fps, creating a payload with enough density and energy to handle turkeys at extended distances.
What sets Grand Slam apart is the FliteControl Flex wad system. This rear-opening design works flawlessly in both standard and ported turkey chokes, controlling how the shot column separates from the gun. That means you get consistent patterns regardless of which choke tube you run. The advanced buffering compound cushions each pellet to prevent deformation as the shot column moves through the barrel, so more of your pellets stay round and fly true.
Grand Slam's Practical Design for Turkey Hunting
The shell uses a roll crimp and clear card wad to keep the buffering material locked in place, giving you repeatable performance shot after shot. With approximately 394 pellets per shot, you're putting enough lead downrange to create tight, lethal patterns at ranges where older turkey loads would start to open up. This is why the load extends your effective range beyond conventional turkey ammunition.
Pattern Density Meets Reliability
Federal backs these shells with inspection protocols that verify consistent ignition and reliable performance. They're new production, non-corrosive, and boxer primed, so whether you're hunting on opening morning or late-season roosts, you can count on them to work. As a bonus, a portion of every purchase supports the National Wild Turkey Federation's conservation efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Federal Grand Slam work with both standard and ported turkey chokes?
Yes. The FliteControl Flex wad system is specifically designed to work in both standard and ported chokes, opening from the rear for controlled payload release and consistent patterns either way. You don't have to compromise on choke choice.
How does the buffering help pattern density?
The advanced buffering compound prevents copper-plated pellets from deforming as they move through the barrel. Round pellets fly truer than deformed ones, so buffering ensures more of your shot stays on target at distance. Combined with the FliteControl Flex wad, this creates the pattern density Grand Slam is known for.
Is #6 shot the right choice for my turkey gun?
Number 6 shot is a popular choice for turkey hunting, especially when pattern density matters at moderate to extended ranges. The roughly 394 pellets per shot deliver coverage, though personal preference varies. Test these loads in your gun with your preferred choke to see how they pattern before opening day.
Are these shells reloadable?
Yes, Federal Grand Slam shells use boxer primers and can be reloaded. However, make sure you follow proper reloading procedures and consult loading data specific to turkey ammunition before attempting to reload your fired cases.
