Who This Is For
Federal Prairie Storm FS Lead is purpose-built for serious upland bird hunters pursuing pheasant, sharptail grouse, Hungarian partridge, and similar species. Whether you're hunting wide-open prairie terrain or tight field cover, this load's superior pattern density and lethality make it an ideal choice for hunters who demand more from every shot and refuse to leave birds in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes FlightStopper pellets different from standard lead shot?
FlightStopper pellets feature a unique segmented design that initiates controlled expansion upon impact, creating larger wound channels than conventional round lead pellets. When combined with 70% standard copper-plated lead in the payload mix, the result is a pattern that maintains density across the entire shot column while delivering significantly more terminal energy — translating to fewer crippled birds and more clean kills.
Is this load compatible with my 12-gauge shotgun, including those with choke tubes?
Federal Prairie Storm FS Lead is compatible with the vast majority of modern 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75" shells. However, because the FlightControl wad is designed to hold the shot column together longer, Federal recommends using Improved Cylinder or Modified choke tubes for best results. Using tighter chokes such as Full may actually degrade pattern performance with FlightControl wads.
What upland game birds is #6 shot best suited for?
#6 shot in a 1-1/4 oz. payload is an excellent all-around choice for pheasant, sharptail grouse, Hungarian partridge, and similar medium-to-large upland birds at ranges up to approximately 40–50 yards. The combination of pellet count and individual pellet energy at #6 size strikes an effective balance between pattern density and per-pellet knockdown power for these species.
