Product Details

Federal's 3rd Degree ammunition is engineered to revolutionize turkey hunting by offering a versatile, three-stage payload that delivers optimal performance at any range. Unlike conventional turkey loads that focus solely on tight patterns, 3rd Degree combines No. 5 copper-plated lead, No. 6 FLITESTOPPER lead, and 18 g/cc No. 7 HEAVYWEIGHT TSS shot to create wider, more forgiving patterns at close range while maintaining devastating penetration at longer distances. This innovative approach ensures you are prepared for any scenario in the field, from close encounters to challenging shots at 40-plus yards.

The unique three-stage payload includes 20 percent No. 6 FLITESTOPPER pellets designed for consistent and forgiving patterns up close, 40 percent copper-plated No. 5 lead pellets for reliable performance at mid-range, and 40 percent HEAVYWEIGHT TSS pellets, which are known for their extra density and high-energy impact, perfect for taking down gobblers at extended distances. This combination allows hunters to adapt to changing conditions and maximize their effectiveness throughout the hunt.
