Federal 3RD Degree 12 Ga. 3-1/2" 2 oz # 5, 6, 7 Shot with Heavyweight TSS 5/box
Federal Premium® 3rd Degree® has redefined turkey shotshell performance once again with the addition of the FLITECONTROL FLEX™ wad. The system performs through both standard and ported turkey chokes, opening from the rear and staying with the shot column longer for full, consistent patterns. Rather than simply pattern tightly like conventional loads, 3rd Degree uses a three-stage payload consisting of No. 5 copper-plated lead, No. 6 FLITESTOPPER® lead and now No. 7 HEAVYWEIGHT® TSS shot to deliver larger, more forgiving patterns at close range, while still providing deadly performance at long distance.
Features
FLITECONTROL FLEX™ wad works in all standard and ported turkey chokes and maximizes the flight characteristics of all three shot types
Three-stage payload creates optimal patterns for the entire range spectrum
20 percent No. 6 FLITESTOPPER® pellets for forgiving close-range patterns

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
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. — Craig Boddington
