Federal Premium 3rd Degree 12 GA 3" Turkey Load

Federal Premium 3rd Degree Turkey Shotshells
Federal has redefined turkey hunting performance with the 3rd Degree, a three-stage payload system designed to deliver consistent, forgiving patterns across the entire effective range.
The Three-Stage Payload
Rather than relying on a single shot type, 3rd Degree strategically combines three distinct pellet compositions:
- 40% Heavyweight TSS #7 (18 g/cc) — Provides extra-dense, high-energy patterns at extended ranges (40+ yards) for reliable penetration on distant birds
- 40% Copper-Plated #5 Lead — Delivers lethal performance at mid-range distances with proven stopping power
- 20% #6 Flitestopper Lead — Offers forgiving, open patterns at close range, reducing the likelihood of clean misses on flushing birds
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.
Performance Characteristics
- Velocity: 1,250 fps
- Load: 1¾ oz of shot
- Gauge: 12 GA, 3" magnum
