FED GAME LOAD 12GA 2 3/4 #7.5 25/250

Description

Federal’s Game Load is a straightforward upland hunting shell built around the kind of everyday field work that demands consistent performance without burning through your budget. It’s the load you reach for when you’re putting in long days on pheasant, quail, or grouse — situations where you’re likely burning through a box or two and where reliability matters more than premium pricing.

The 2¾-inch hull keeps it compatible with virtually every 12-gauge gun in the field, including older fixed-choke guns that tighter-crimped magnum loads can stress. A one-ounce payload of #7.5 shot strikes a practical balance for upland birds: enough pellets in the pattern to connect at typical flushing distances, while keeping recoil at a level that lets you stay on a second bird without resetting your stance. At 1,290 feet per second, the velocity is brisk enough to maintain energy out to reasonable upland ranges without the excessive chamber pressure that can accelerate wad fouling or shorten hull life if you reload. The plastic hull is standard for modern shotshells and sheds moisture better than paper, which matters on wet-grass mornings. Federal loads these in boxes of 25, with cases of 250 available for hunters who want to stock up before season. If you’re running a semi-automatic with a light target load spring, confirm your gun cycles reliably at this velocity — most field-weight gas guns handle it without issue, but inertia-driven actions tuned very light may need a heavier recoil spring.
