Federal Premium 3rd Degree 12ga 3.5" Turkey Load
Federal's 3rd Degree combines three shot types in one load: copper-plated #5 for mid-range punch, #6 Flitestopper for close forgiveness, and Heavyweight TSS #7 for 40+ yard density. Flitecontrol Flex wad works in all turkey chokes.
Federal Premium 3rd Degree Turkey Shotshell
Federal has reimagined turkey ammunition with the 3rd Degree, a sophisticated three-stage payload system designed to deliver optimal patterns across the entire effective range.
The Three-Stage Advantage
Rather than relying on a single shot type, 3rd Degree strategically combines three distinct pellet compositions:
- 40% Heavyweight TSS #7 Shot — Delivers extra-dense, high-energy patterns at extended ranges (40+ yards) for consistent long-distance performance
- 40% Copper-Plated #5 Lead Shot — Provides lethal mid-range performance with reliable energy retention
- 20% Flitestopper #6 Lead Shot — Offers forgiving close-range patterns that minimize the risk of crippling birds at shorter distances
Flitecontrol Flex Wad Technology
The Flitecontrol Flex wad is engineered to work seamlessly through both standard and ported turkey chokes. It opens from the rear and remains with the shot column longer than conventional wads, ensuring full, consistent patterns while maximizing the flight characteristics of all three shot types.
