Federal Premium Prairie Storm 20 gauge copper plated shot ammunition delivers the consistent, edge-to-edge patterns upland hunters depend on. Built with a FLITECONTROL FLEX rear-opening wad and a dual-pellet system that pairs standard copper-plated lead with FLITESTOPPER pellets, this load is engineered to tighten patterns through a wide range of chokes while maintaining the velocity and energy needed to cleanly take birds at distance. Whether you're hunting pheasant, quail, or grouse, Prairie Storm rounds give you the confidence that your shots will count.

The real advantage here is the payload mix: 70 percent standard pellets combined with 30 percent FLITESTOPPER lead creates a load that patterns predictably and doesn't leave gaps in your shot string. FLITESTOPPER pellets themselves are designed to produce larger wound channels, reducing the number of crippled birds left in the field—a priority for hunters who respect their quarry. Retained velocity across the effective range means you're carrying lethal energy all the way to the target.

If you shoot a 20 gauge for upland work, Prairie Storm is worth running through your gun before the season opens. Tight, reliable patterns and effective terminal performance make these rounds a solid choice for hunters who demand consistency without the recoil of a 12 gauge.
