Who This Is For
Federal Prairie Storm FS Lead is purpose-built for serious upland hunters who demand more from their 20-gauge load. Whether you're working pointing dogs through thick cover for pheasant or walking up quail in open fields, this shell's hybrid pellet system and FlightControl wad give you the pattern density and terminal performance needed to put more birds in the bag and leave fewer to chance. It's an ideal choice for hunters using a 20-gauge as their primary upland gun without sacrificing the knockdown power of a heavier load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game birds is Federal Prairie Storm #6 shot best suited for?
Federal Prairie Storm in #6 shot is an excellent all-around upland load, performing best on pheasant, quail, chukar, and similar medium-to-large upland birds. The combination of the FlightControl wad and the dual-pellet payload produces tight patterns that are effective at the ranges typical of flushing and pointing dog work, generally out to 40–50 yards.
How does the FlightStopper pellet system differ from standard lead shot?
FlightStopper pellets are specially shaped lead projectiles designed to tumble and expand upon impact, creating significantly larger wound channels compared to round lead pellets. Federal blends 30% FlightStopper pellets with 70% standard copper-plated lead in each shell, ensuring both dense pattern coverage and enhanced terminal performance for more reliable, humane kills.
Is this load compatible with standard 20-gauge shotguns chambered for 3" shells?
Yes — Federal Prairie Storm FS Lead is loaded in a 3" hull and is compatible with any 20-gauge shotgun chambered for 3" shells. Always verify your firearm's chamber length and choke recommendations before use. For best patterning results with the FlightControl wad, Federal recommends using a modified or improved-modified choke, though results may vary by gun and choke combination.
