Federal Premium Prairie Storm FS 20 gauge ammunition delivers the pattern and power you need for upland game birds and clay shooting. Built to Federal's field-proven standards, each 3" shell carries 1 1/4 oz of #5 shot, balancing energy with shot density for clean, consistent takes on pheasant, quail, and similar game. At 20 gauge, you get plenty of knockdown from a lighter-recoiling platform—ideal if you're working long days in the field or want faster target acquisition on clay courses.
Prairie Storm ammunition is engineered for reliable ignition and consistent velocity, so you can count on the same ballistics box after box. The 3" magnum load packs more shot downrange than standard 2 3/4" rounds, extending your effective range without forcing you to step up to 12 gauge. Whether you're a dedicated upland hunter, a clay competitor, or someone who simply values proven ammunition, Federal's reputation for quality means fewer misfires and more birds in the bag.
This box contains 25 rounds, giving you enough to pattern your shotgun, stock your vest for a morning hunt, or practice clay targets without breaking the bank. Store in a cool, dry place and handle according to all local firearms and ammunition laws.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shotgun guns can shoot 3" 20 gauge shells?
Any 20 gauge shotgun rated for 3" magnum loads will safely fire this ammunition. Check your owner's manual or barrel markings to confirm your shotgun's chamber length—shotguns chambered only for 2 3/4" shells should not use 3" ammo.
Is #5 shot good for pheasant and upland hunting?
Yes. #5 shot is a popular choice for upland birds like pheasant and quail, offering a good balance of pellet count and energy at typical hunting ranges.
How many pellets are in 1 1/4 oz of #5 shot?
We don't have the exact pellet count on file. Contact Federal Ammunition directly or check your box for that detail.
Can I use Prairie Storm ammo for clay shooting?
Yes. This ammunition works well for practice and competition clay shooting, though specific match rules may apply—check with your club or event.
