Federal Premium 3rd Degree turkey ammunition features a unique blend of shot for 3 degrees of gobbler slaying perfection! The first wave of shot out the end of your barrel consists of No. 6 Flitestopper lead pellets which spread quickly to create a deadly close-range pattern. The second wave is composed of copper plated No. 5 shot, which creates a dense, even pattern at moderate ranges. The final payload is made up of ultra-dense heavyweight shot in #7 size, which is 35 percent more dense than lead. This dense shot in a smaller size gives more pellets on target while still retaining velocity and penetration in order to fill tags at 50 yards and beyond. Entire payload is comprised of 20% #6 lead shot, 40% copper plated #5 and 40% Heavyweight #7s. The shot column is housed in Federal's proprietary Flitecontrol wad, which stays with the shot longer for consistent, reliable patterns at greater distances. Like all shotshells in the Federal Premium lineup, it uses top-notch hulls, a superior crimp, brass-plated steel heads, consistent powder and an ultra-dependable primer.

12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells. — Craig Boddington
