Federal Prairie Storm FS Steel is 12 Gauge ammo built for upland hunting with #3 Steel Shot at 1500 fps.

Why Shooters Choose Federal 12 Gauge
- Upland-focused load: Prairie Storm FS Steel is built for upland hunting, giving hunters a Federal 12 Gauge option designed around steel shot and consistent field patterns.
- Steel Shot construction: Steel Shot is a non-lead shot material often selected where lead restrictions apply, and it is commonly used for hunting applications that call for steel.
- FLITECONTROL FLEX wad: Federal’s wad system is engineered to help manage the shot column as it leaves the barrel, supporting the manufacturer’s stated goal of consistent patterns.
- FLITESTOPPER pellet technology: Federal combines FLITECONTROL FLEX with FLITESTOPPER steel pellets to create a wad-shot system designed to improve steel-shot field performance.
- #3 shot size: The #3 Steel Shot payload gives hunters a defined pellet size for comparing this load with other 12 gauge ammo choices.
- 1500 fps velocity: The listed muzzle velocity is 1500 fps, a key spec for shoppers comparing Federal 12 Gauge grain Steel Shot loads and hunting shotshells.
- Box and case options: Packaging is listed as a box of 25 or a case of 250, giving hunters a practical way to buy for a hunt, range check, or bulk planning.
