FEDERAL 20 GA - 2.75" - 1 OZ - #5 - 25 RDS/BOX
Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS Lead in 20 gauge delivers the precision patterning and terminal performance that upland hunters demand, combining cutting-edge wad technology with a dual-pellet payload engineered to drop birds cleanly at distance.
- FlightControl wad produces tight, consistent patterns at extended ranges
- FlightStopper lead pellets create devastating wound channels for clean kills
- 70% copper-plated lead and 30% FlightStopper mix for edge-to-edge pattern density
- 1 oz payload of #5 shot ideal for pheasant, grouse, and prairie upland birds
- 2.75" shell fits standard 20-gauge shotguns and semi-automatics reliably
- Excellent retained velocity and energy minimize crippled or lost birds
Who This Is For
Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS Lead is purpose-built for upland bird hunters who pursue pheasant, sharptail grouse, and other prairie species across open country. If you're chasing hard-flushing birds at 30–40 yards and can't afford a sloppy pattern or poor energy transfer, this load was designed with you in mind. It's equally well-suited to hunters running lightweight 20-gauge field guns who want premium performance without stepping up to a heavier 12-gauge shell.

Frequently Asked Questions
What birds is Federal Prairie Storm FS Lead #5 shot best suited for?
Federal Prairie Storm in #5 shot is an excellent all-around upland load optimized for pheasant, sharptail grouse, Hungarian partridge, and similar prairie game birds. The #5 pellet size delivers a strong balance of pattern density and individual pellet energy, making it effective on larger, tougher birds at typical flushing distances of 20–40 yards.
Will this 20-gauge load cycle reliably in my semi-automatic shotgun?
Yes — Federal Prairie Storm FS Lead is loaded to generate consistent pressures and velocities that cycle the vast majority of gas-operated and inertia-driven 20-gauge semi-automatics reliably. However, if your shotgun is set up for light target loads, you may need to adjust the gas setting (if applicable) for optimal cycling with this heavier hunting load.
How does the FlightControl wad improve patterning compared to standard shotshells?
The FlightControl wad stays with the shot column longer after leaving the muzzle, then peels away cleanly to release the payload in a controlled, uniform manner. This dramatically reduces pattern blow-out and produces tighter, more even patterns at longer distances compared to conventional shotshells — meaning more pellets on target and fewer lost birds.
