Rather than simply pattern tightly like conventional turkey loads, 3rd Degree uses a three-stage payload consisting of No. 5 copper-plated lead, No. 6 FLITESTOPPER lead and 18 g/cc No. 7 HEAVYWEIGHT TSS shot to deliver larger, more forgiving patterns at close range, while still providing deadly penetration at long distance. Combined with the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad, 3 Degree offers performance that has made turkey load chosen by MeatEater’s Steven Rinella.
