Overview

Built for turkey hunters who want a purpose-driven load for tight-pattern shooting, this 12-gauge option is designed around dense shot placement and consistent performance through both standard and ported turkey chokes. The copper-plated lead shot, FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, and buffering are all aimed at keeping the payload together and reducing pellet deformation. A roll crimp and clear card wad help hold the buffering in place, while a portion of proceeds supports the National Wild Turkey Federation.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed specifically as a 12 gauge 3 1/2" turkey load, so it is not a general-purpose shotshell for all hunting applications.
  • Uses copper-plated lead shot and buffering, which are intended to support pattern consistency but may be more specialized than standard field loads.
  • The FLITECONTROL FLEX wad is described as working through both standard and ported turkey chokes, but actual results still depend on your specific choke and firearm setup.
  • Pack count is 10 rounds, which is a relatively small quantity if you need ammunition for extended practice or multiple outings.
