Federal 12 ga 1-1/4oz #5 Prairie Storm – Powerful 12 Gauge Upland Loads, 1330 fps, 25 Rounds

Description

The Federal 12 ga 1-1/4oz #5 Prairie Storm load is built for hunters who want dependable patterns on pheasants and upland birds. Federal loads 1-1/4 oz of #5 lead shot to a rated 1330 feet per second in a 2-3/4 in 12 Gauge shell. Prairie Storm loads blend standard lead shot with Flitestopper pellets, which have a cutting ring that increases trauma on tough birds, and the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad keeps patterns dense at longer range.

Why Choose the Federal 12 ga 1-1/4oz #5 Prairie Storm

• 1-1/4 oz of #5 lead shot
• Rated 1330 fps muzzle velocity
• 2-3/4 in 12 Gauge hull
• FLITECONTROL FLEX wad for tight patterns
• 25 rounds per box, item PFX126FS5

Built for Upland Birds

• Flitestopper pellets add energy transfer on tough birds
• FLITECONTROL FLEX wad delivers tight, consistent patterns
• High velocity for long, late-season shots
• Performs in both ported and non-ported chokes

Patterning your shotgun with a new load is the best way to know how it performs. Shoot a few rounds at a large sheet of paper at 25 to 35 yards with the choke you plan to hunt with, and check that the densest part of the pattern lines up with your point of aim. Trying a tighter or more open choke can make a real difference on fast, close birds.

Store shotshells in a cool, dry place in their original box, and keep loads with different shot sizes separated so you always grab the right shell in the field. Buying enough from the same lot for the whole season keeps velocity and pattern consistent from one hunt to the next, so your practice carries over to the field.

Pheasant hunting is one of the most popular upland pursuits in America, especially across the Great Plains and Midwest. Ring-necked pheasants are large, tough birds that often flush at the edge of shotgun range late in the season, so hunters favor heavier loads with larger shot sizes that carry enough energy to bring birds down cleanly.

Why Choose Federal 12 Gauge Shotshells

Late-season roosters are tough and flush wild, so hunters look for 12 ga pheasant loads with extra reach and knockdown. This Prairie Storm shell carries 1-1/4 ounces of #5 shot at 1330 fps, with Flitestopper pellets mixed in to increase energy transfer on impact.

These 12 ga upland loads use the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, which separates cleanly from the shot for dense, even patterns out to extended range. The larger #5 shot keeps its energy downrange, making this a strong choice for pheasants, sharp-tailed grouse and prairie chickens.

Federal Premium has made ammunition in Anoka, Minnesota since 1922 and is one of the most trusted names in shotshells. Its Prairie Storm FS Lead line was developed for demanding upland hunting, and federal 12 ga ammo from this line is chosen by bird hunters who want dense patterns and consistent performance on tough, fast-flushing birds.

These shotshells are a good fit for pheasant and prairie grouse hunters using 12 gauge pump, semi-automatic and over-under shotguns, especially for late-season birds that flush at longer range. Always confirm your shotgun is chambered for 2-3/4 in 12 Gauge shells, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local hunting laws.
