Federal's new Prairie Storm ammunition features a mixture of shot. 70% of the shot is copper-plated lead and the remaining 30% consists of "FLITESTOPPER" nickel-plated lead. Federal says that the mix produces good patterns. The FLITESTOPPER shot features a cutting edge which increases penetration.
Prairie Storm will be available in 12 and 20 gauge.
The difference between Prairie Storm and Black Cloud is that P.S. is lead and B.C. is steel.

0Wait. What’s the difference between this and Black Cloud?
0 0What size shot is it tho?
Are the copper and lead going to be different diameters or weight?
Will you get this in dove, quail, turkey, goose, poodle loads?
0 0I do not see how it will improve take downs, I find either you get a good solid hit or you do not, so price is going to be key with this one, if they charge an arm and a leg for it I will stick with standard bird shot.
0 0Cutting edge you say? Doesn’t that mean it will fly irregularly and off target because of its uneven aerodynamics?
