Federal Premium Prairie Storm Ammunition 28 Gauge 2-3/4" 1 oz #6 Copper Plated Shot Box of 25

Federal Premium Prairie Storm 28 gauge ammunition delivers consistent, full-coverage patterns for upland hunters who demand reliable performance from a classic gauge. This 2-3/4" load pairs a 1 oz payload of #6 copper-plated shot with Federal's FLITECONTROL wad system, engineered to tighten shot strings and maintain pattern integrity from flush to finish. The result is edge-to-edge density that translates to cleaner, more ethical harvests on quail, grouse, and other upland game.

What sets Prairie Storm apart is the shot payload itself: a strategic mix of standard copper-plated lead and FLITESTOPPER pellets. The FLITESTOPPER component creates larger impact channels on game, while the overall blend preserves the velocity and energy that separate clean kills from lost birds. If you've shot 28 gauge long enough to appreciate its low recoil and handling in tight cover, you know the challenge is finding ammunition that doesn't compromise on pattern performance. This load answers that call.

Each box contains 25 rounds, packaged for hunters who respect the balance between firepower and finesse. Whether you're working a pointer through stubble or swinging on a woodcock in mixed timber, Prairie Storm gives you the pattern consistency and retained energy to make your shots count. This is ammunition built by a manufacturer that understands upland hunting's demands—not a generic load, but a purpose-built round.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FLITECONTROL wad technology and how does it improve patterns?

FLITECONTROL is Federal's wad design that stabilizes the shot column during flight, tightening patterns and maintaining consistent pellet distribution downrange. This means denser, more reliable patterns across the effective range of the load.

What is the difference between standard copper-plated pellets and FLITESTOPPER pellets in this load?

The Prairie Storm payload combines standard copper-plated lead (70%) with FLITESTOPPER pellets (30%). FLITESTOPPER pellets are engineered to create larger impact channels on game, improving lethality and reducing the chance of lost birds.

Is 28 gauge ammunition suitable for hunting upland game?

Yes. The 28 gauge is a classic upland hunting round, prized for its low recoil, quick handling, and minimal shot capacity—encouraging precise shooting. The #6 shot size in this load is well-suited to quail, grouse, woodcock, and similar game at typical upland hunting ranges.

How many rounds are in a box of Federal Premium Prairie Storm?

Each box contains 25 rounds, a standard count for shotgun ammunition packaging.
