Frequently Asked Questions
Will Federal Grand Slam work with my ported turkey choke?
Yes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is specifically designed to function reliably in both standard and ported turkey chokes. Unlike some high-performance wads that are optimized only for one choke style, FLITECONTROL FLEX releases the payload from the rear of the wad, providing consistent pattern performance regardless of whether your choke has ports or not.
Is #6 shot a good choice for turkey hunting, and what range is it effective at?
#6 copper-plated lead shot strikes an excellent balance between pellet count and energy retention for turkey hunting. The smaller pellet size means more pellets in the pattern for denser coverage, while the copper plating and advanced buffering help maintain pellet roundness for tighter groups. This load is most effective at ranges up to 40 yards, though patterning your specific shotgun and choke combination is always recommended to confirm your effective maximum distance.
How should I store Federal Grand Slam turkey shells to maintain performance?
Store Federal Grand Slam shotshells in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Keep them in their original packaging when possible to protect the shells from moisture and physical damage. Properly stored shotgun ammunition can maintain reliable performance for many years, so there's no need to rush through your supply as long as storage conditions are good.
