In 2015, Federal Premium redefined how turkey shotshells are supposed to perform with the introduction of 3rd Degree.
New for 2016, Federal Premium has expanded its 3rd Degree line to include a 20-gauge offering.
Rather than simply pattern tightly like conventional loads, 3rd Degree uses a multi-shot, three-stage payload to deliver larger, more forgiving patterns at close range, while still providing deadly performance at long distance.
The 3rd Degree 20 Gauge rounds include 20 percent No. 6 FLITESTOPPER pellets for forgiving close-range patterns, 40 percent copper-plated No. 5 lead for lethal performance at mid-range and 40 percent HEAVYWEIGHT for dense, high-energy patterns at 40-plus yards.
The pattern of No. 5 Premium lead, No. 6 FLITESTOPPER lead and No. 7 HEAVYWEIGHT shot is maximized by the FLITECONTROL wad, which opens from the rear and stays with the shot column longer than conventional wads for full, consistent patterns.
