Overview
Built for 12-gauge hunters who want a specialized lead load for waterfowl hunting, this 3-inch shell is offered in a 25-round box and is rated at 1350 FPS. It uses Federal’s FLITECONTROL wad and FLITESTOPPER pellet system, along with a mixed payload of standard copper-plated lead and FLITESTOPPER lead, to support dense patterning and larger wound channels. The #5 shot size makes it a practical option for hunters looking for a dedicated field load in situations where pattern consistency matters.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- 12GA 3" shells require a compatible shotgun chambered for 3" loads, so fit should be confirmed before use.
- The #5 shot size and 1-5/8 oz payload are purpose-built choices, which may not suit every hunting application or preference.
- This is a 25-round box, so larger outings may require multiple boxes or additional planning.
- The product description emphasizes waterfowl use, so hunters looking for a more general-purpose load may want to verify it matches their intended game and conditions.
