Frequently Asked Questions
What makes FLITESTOPPER pellets different from standard lead shot?
FLITESTOPPER pellets feature a distinctive cutting edge around their circumference that creates larger, more devastating wound channels upon impact compared to traditional round lead pellets. When combined with standard copper-plated lead shot in a 70/30 ratio, the result is a payload that delivers both deep penetration and wide tissue disruption — significantly reducing the chance of crippled or lost birds.
Is the FLITECONTROL wad compatible with all 28 gauge chokes?
Federal's FLITECONTROL wad is engineered to work best with improved cylinder to modified choke constrictions, which allow the wad to release cleanly and produce its signature tight, consistent patterns. Very tight chokes such as full or extra-full may impede wad separation and can reduce pattern performance. Always consult your choke manufacturer's recommendations before using specialty wads.
Is this load suitable for hunting pheasant with a 28 gauge shotgun?
Absolutely. Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS Lead was specifically designed for upland hunting situations where the 28 gauge shines — closer flushes, lighter gun carry, and fast target acquisition. The #6 shot size at 13/16 oz. provides enough payload and energy for clean kills on roosters and other upland birds at typical hunting distances, especially with the added lethality of FLITESTOPPER pellets in the mix.
