Description
The Federal 16ga 1-1/8oz #5 Prairie Storm FS load is built for hunters who want dependable patterns on pheasants and upland birds. Federal loads 1 1/8 oz of #5 FliteStopper lead shot to a rated 1425 feet per second in a 2-3/4 in 16 Gauge shell. Federal Prairie Storm FS Lead loads use a blend of standard plated lead pellets and FliteStopper pellets, whose raised cutting ring creates a larger wound channel on pheasants and other tough upland birds. A FliteControl wad keeps the payload together longer for dense, consistent patterns at the ranges where roosters often flush.

Built for Upland Birds
- Blend of FliteStopper and plated lead shot
- FliteControl wad for dense, consistent patterns
- High velocity for fast-flushing birds
- Works with standard and 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.

Why Choose Federal 16 Gauge Shotshells
Late-season pheasants are tough, and they often flush at the edge of range. Prairie Storm answers with FliteStopper pellets that cut tissue on impact and a FliteControl wad that keeps patterns tight, giving hunters more knockdown power on wild roosters.
The 16 gauge carries nearly the payload of a 12 in a lighter, faster-handling gun, and this 1 1/8 ounce load gives 16 gauge fans a true pheasant load built for tough, late-season birds.
Federal Premium has made ammunition in Anoka, Minnesota since 1922 and is one of the most trusted names in shotshells. Its Prairie Storm line was developed for serious pheasant hunters, and federal 16 ga ammo from this line is chosen by upland hunters who want dense patterns and knockdown power on tough birds.
Prairie Storm 16 gauge #5 lead loads suit upland hunters who carry classic 16 gauge guns and want a modern, hard-hitting load for wild pheasants. Always confirm your shotgun is chambered for 2-3/4 in 16 Gauge shells, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local hunting laws.
