Federal Premium Debuts Grand Slam Turkey Shells to Flatten Long Beards
Federal Premium has rolled out a new series of shotgun shells for turkey hunting as much of the US gears up for spring season hunts. The all-new Grand Slam turkey loads are going to be offered in your 3 likely suspects of 10 Gauge, 12 Gauge and 20 Gauge with payloads of 4 Shot, 5 Shot and 6 Shot for consumers to choose from.
The “secret sauce” to these shells lies in the wad guiding the copper-plated lead payload. Federal Premium‘s Grand Slam shells utilize their FLITECONTROL FLEX wad system that opens at the rear. This allows the shooter to deploy these through both ported and standard choke tubes while hunting long beards.
The copper-plated lead that is guided in the center is also cushioned and densely-packed. This ensures sufficient payload and energy is always present to knock down a big tom.
Initially, Federal Premium will be offering out 10 different varieties of shells through the Grand Slam line. All of those flavors as well as associated MSRPs can be read below.

I don't know about Turkey hunting, but yeah, I might try the the 3 1/2" 10 or 12 gauge versions in the event I ever need an emergency method to pop my shoulder back into place.
I'm aware that Turkey often have long growth on there faces but the title sounded like someone was having a hard time with some Wizards.
