The Fiocchi Field Dynamics High Velocity 12-Gauge 3" #5 Lead load is a maximum-payload hunting shell engineered specifically for wild turkey and large upland game. The primary frustration when stretching the distance on tough, heavy-bodied birds is finding the perfect sweet spot between pellet size and total pattern density. If your shot size is too big, your pellet count drops, creating empty gaps in your spread that allow game to slip through unscathed. Fiocchi completely eliminates this hunting bottleneck by utilizing an optimized #5 shot profile, packing a massive pellet volume into the sky without sacrificing the deep penetration needed to anchor big birds.
The technical advantage focuses on maintaining strict pellet roundness and protecting shot column geometry under intense magnum chamber pressures. By hardening the lead through a specialized chilling process, the #5 pellets resist flattening and shearing as they blast down the barrel. This dramatically cuts down on aerodynamic drag and eliminates erratic "flyer" pellets that blow out your pattern. Supported by a premium cushioned wad system that collapses to absorb the initial shock of ignition, the shot column stays perfectly aligned through your choke tube, resulting in tight, uniform downrange dispersion and relentless tissue penetration on thick-feathered game.
Slinging a massive 1-3/4 oz. payload at a roaring muzzle velocity of 1,330 FPS, this heavy field load delivers the absolute crushing kinetic energy and high hit probability required for clean, ethical, one-shot harvests. To ensure your shotgun runs flawlessly when a big tom steps into view, Fiocchi builds these rounds with premium high-brass heads and rigid hull geometry. This prevents hull swelling and guarantees glass-smooth feeding and stick-free extraction, whether you are running a fast-cycling semi-automatic or a dependable pump-action shotgun.
