Federal has introduced a new 2.75" 20 gauge turkey load. It uses the Flitecontrol Wad with 1.125 oz of #7 Heavyweight shot (250 pellets) at 1100 f.p.s. with the same downrange energy as a 1.5 oz. load of #5 lead shot and a 40% reduction in recoil over their 3" 20 gauge (their figures).
That may be a very interesting shell. Only time will tell.

Does anybody have it for sale yet?
That would be a great load for a kid to shoot. Shouldn't have much recoil at all. Still would be better without the FC wad though.

paired with the "right" choke,the flightcontrol shell is devastating

I agree with you. I'm shooting the 3" fed. #7's. I'm just saying if they would go to a conventional wad, it would be easier to find a choke that would pattern them.

I hunt with a 20 ga sideXside from time to time.,.. Recoil is a significant issue
with fixed breech, double barrels with two different recoil effects. anything that
minimizes recoil is good for a gun like this. Less of an issue with my benelli 20ga M2
This may be the perfect shell for the dense woods and tight area situation where a 35 yard shot is extremely long. Thanks for letting us know.
