Federal PTD159567 3rd Degree Turkey 3" 12 ga 3" 1-3/4 oz 5,6,7 Shot 5Bx/10Cs As turkey loads have been engineered to pattern more tightly and reach farther, they have also become less forgiving at close range, leading to missed birds. 3rd Degree uses a multi-shot, three-stage payload to deliver lethal patterns at any range. It is 20 percent No. 6 FLITESTOPPER pellets for forgiving close-range patterns; 40 percent copper-plated No. 5 lead for the most lethal performance at mid-range; 40 percent No. 7 HEAVYWEIGHT for dense, high-energy patterns at 40+ yards; FLITECONTROL wad maximizes the flight characteristics of all three shot types. It's the most versatile turkey load Federal has ever produced. Note: the FLITECONTROL wad is designed for use with standard choke tubes. Aftermarket chokes that are ported or designed to strip the wad may interfere with its performance.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells.
