Turkey season demands ammunition that delivers extended range, consistent patterns, and terminal energy you can rely on when the shot presents itself. For hunters and tactical shooters who prioritize dense patterns and reliable performance from a shotgun load, understanding the components that drive that performance is critical.

FEDERAL PREMIUM offers the Grand Slam load that extends the range and enhances the lethality of conventional turkey payloads. Its Flitecontrol Flex wad system is engineered to work in both standard and ported turkey chokes, stabilizing shot and preserving pattern integrity at extended distances. The load uses high-quality copperplated lead pellets cushioned by an advanced buffering compound to deliver dense patterns and ample energy to crush gobblers. As a Shotgun Ammo option priced at $27.99 and available in model Various, this round is built for serious patterning and field results.

Why the Flitecontrol Flex Wad Matters

The Flitecontrol Flex wad is the technical advantage in this load. It is designed to reduce pellet deformation and maintain shot column integrity through the bore and choke, which is especially important if you run a ported choke on your turkey gun. That consistency converts to tighter, more reliable patterns at 30–50+ yards when zeroing and choke selection are dialed in on a pattern board.

Pellet Construction and Impact Energy

Copperplated lead pellets provide better barrel fouling resistance and consistent density compared to unplated shot. The buffering compound surrounding each pellet cushions them during acceleration, which reduces deformation and helps retain kinetic energy downrange. Those traits translate into the “dense patterns and ample energy” necessary to reliably dispatch gobblers within ethical ranges.

Field Recommendations

Test pattern every combination: your gun, choke, and the FEDERAL PREMIUM Grand Slam load. Start at 25 yards and move back in 5–10 yard increments to determine effective range for your setup. Use the model Various selection to match shot sizes and payloads to your hunting conditions, and store boxes in a cool, dry place to preserve performance.

For hunters who demand extended range and uncompromising pattern control, this Shotgun Ammo is a focused solution. Check current availability to purchase from the shop and be ready for the next season.
