Who This Is For
The Federal Grand Slam 3.5" is built for serious turkey hunters who pursue big, wary birds in open fields or hardwood terrain where shots can stretch past 40 yards. It's an ideal choice for hunters running standard or ported choke tubes who demand tight, lethal patterns and reliable terminal performance on spring or fall gobblers. If you refuse to let distance be the reason a bird walks away, this is your load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes are compatible with the Federal Grand Slam FLITECONTROL FLEX wad?
The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is specifically engineered to perform reliably with both standard (non-ported) and ported turkey choke tubes. Unlike earlier FLITECONTROL wads that could be disrupted by ported chokes, the FLEX version opens from the rear, allowing the ports to function normally without interfering with the wad's controlled release. This makes it an extremely versatile load for hunters using a wide range of aftermarket or OEM turkey chokes.
How does #5 copper-plated shot compare to larger shot sizes for turkey hunting?
#5 shot offers an excellent balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for turkey hunting. Compared to larger #4 or #6 shot, #5 delivers more pellets on target than #4 while retaining more energy per pellet than #6, making it well-suited for head and neck shots at distances of 20–50 yards. The copper plating on Federal's Grand Slam pellets adds hardness to resist deformation through the barrel, translating to tighter patterns and better penetration downrange.
How should I store Federal Grand Slam turkey shells to preserve performance?
Store Federal Grand Slam shotshells in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations. A dedicated ammo can or storage box in a climate-controlled space is ideal. Avoid storing shells loose where they may sustain dents or crimp damage, as this can affect powder charge and wad function. Properly stored, Federal Premium shotshells maintain reliable performance for many years.
