Federal PFCX156F5 Premium Grand Slam 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/2 oz 1200 fps 5 Shot 10 Bx/25 Cs

Federal Premium Grand Slam 12 gauge 2.75" shotgun ammunition brings the tooling and shot philosophy built for turkey hunting into a versatile field load. This #5 shot option loaded to 1200 fps with 1 1/2 oz of copper-plated lead pellets bridges the gap between tighter patterns and usable energy across reasonable hunting distances. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad system is the key—it's engineered to perform in both standard and ported turkey chokes, opening from the rear to deliver controlled, repeatable patterns that don't sacrifice consistency for raw density.

What makes Grand Slam different is the attention to pellet integrity. Federal cushions the copper-plated shot with an advanced buffering compound that absorbs the shock of acceleration in the barrel, preventing pellets from deforming and flattening during the firing sequence. Flattened or damaged shot disrupts patterns dramatically; intact pellets fly true and cluster tighter downrange. The roll crimp and clear card wad keep the buffering material seated, so every round out of the box performs like the last one.

This is serious shot-shell engineering at a price point that makes sense for hunters who want reliability without the premium turkey-only markup. Whether you're working a gobbler at dawn or reaching out on ducks and geese, the #5 shot size and 1200 fps velocity deliver the balance most hunting situations demand. Comes packaged as 10 boxes per case with 25 rounds per box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Federal Grand Slam work in my ported turkey choke?

Yes. The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is specifically designed to open reliably in both standard and ported turkey chokes, delivering consistent patterns through either configuration.

What's the difference between this and standard lead shot?

Federal buffers the copper-plated pellets with an advanced cushioning compound that reduces deformation during firing. Since damaged or flattened pellets fly off-axis and disrupt pattern density, this buffering keeps shot integrity high for tighter, more predictable groups downrange.

Is #5 shot suitable for turkey hunting?

Federal designed Grand Slam with turkey hunting in mind, and #5 shot is a proven option for gobblers within typical hunting ranges. Pellet density and energy are balanced for effectiveness, though shot selection ultimately depends on your choke, distance, and local regulations.

What does "10 Bx/25 Cs" mean?

This means each case contains 10 boxes, with 25 rounds in every box—250 rounds total per case.
