If you hunt where non-lead shot is required, the Prairie Storm FS in 20 gauge gives you performance that won't leave you wanting. These shells pair a 3-inch case with 7/8 ounce of steel shot sized at number 3, a payload designed to handle tough upland birds without the recoil of a 12 gauge.
The real difference here is the wad and pellet combo. Federal's FLITECONTROL FLEX wad opens from the rear and separates cleanly from the shot charge, which means you get consistent patterns through standard and ported chokes alike. That's not small potatoes when you're switching between different shotguns or choke tubes at a hunt. The 50/50 mix of standard steel and FLITESTOPPER pellets adds density where it counts. The FLITESTOPPER pellets have a cutting ring around their circumference that increases lethality on impact.
With a muzzle velocity of 1500 feet per second, this load delivers energy comparable to common lead loads when you're shooting at 40 yards and closer, which is where most upland hunting happens anyway. The 7/8 ounce payload packs roughly 140 pellets of number 3 shot, giving you a reasonable pattern spread for fast-moving birds without excessive pattern constriction. You'll see more than 75 percent of your pellets land inside a 30-inch circle at 40 yards.
Number 3 steel is the sweet spot for birds like pheasants. It's got enough weight to reach out there a bit, but the 20 gauge platform keeps recoil down on a day-long hunt. These come in a 25-round box so you're not worrying about running short during a good flight of birds.
Yes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is designed to work with both ported and standard chokes. The wad opens from the rear regardless of choke constriction, so you don't have to swap tubes between guns or worry about uneven patterns.
Number 3 is a solid choice for pheasants at moderate ranges, especially in 20 gauge where you want to keep pellet count up. It gives you better penetration than #5 or #6 without being overkill. Most upland hunting happens under 40 yards anyway, and that's where this load shines.
The 7/8 ounce charge in a 20 gauge puts you in the ballpark of a typical 1-ounce 12 gauge load in terms of energy at 40 yards, but with less recoil. You're getting usable bird-dropping power without beating yourself up over a day of hunting.
FLITESTOPPER pellets have a raised cutting ring around their circumference that increases the wound channel on impact. Mixing them 50/50 with standard round pellets gives you denser patterns while improving the effectiveness of each hit.
