Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Federal Grand Slam work with my ported turkey choke?
Yes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is specifically engineered to function reliably in both standard and ported turkey chokes. Unlike standard wads that can be disrupted by porting, the FLITECONTROL FLEX releases from the rear of the payload, maintaining pattern integrity regardless of choke style. Always pattern your specific gun-and-choke combination before the season to confirm performance.
What is the effective range of this turkey load?
Federal Grand Slam loads are designed to deliver dense, lethal patterns out to approximately 40–50 yards under typical conditions. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad and copper-plated #5 shot work together to maintain tight patterns and sufficient pellet energy for clean kills at those distances. For shots beyond 40 yards, we recommend patterning your shotgun carefully and considering a tighter constriction choke to confirm adequate pattern density.
Is #5 shot a good choice for turkey hunting, or should I go with #4 or #6?
#5 copper-plated lead shot is widely considered one of the most versatile and effective turkey hunting shot sizes. It strikes a strong balance between pellet count and individual pellet mass — delivering more pellets on target than #4 while retaining more energy than #6 at typical turkey hunting ranges. For most hunters shooting inside 50 yards with a quality turkey choke, #5 is an excellent all-around choice.
