FED GAME LOAD 12GA 2.75″ #7.5 25/250

Description

Federal’s Game-Shok line is built around the practical demands of upland bird hunting and small game shooting — situations where you’re burning through shells in volume and want consistent performance without paying a premium for specialty loads. This is workhorse ammunition designed for hunters who spend real days in the field, not occasional range trips.

The 2¾-inch shell keeps chamber pressure and recoil in a range that stays manageable through a long day of walking and flushing, which matters when you’re swinging on fast-moving birds and fatigue starts affecting your mount. The 1¼-oz payload of #7.5 lead shot gives you a dense enough pattern at typical upland ranges to put enough pellets on target without the excessive pellet count of smaller shot that loses energy quickly. #7.5 sits in a practical middle ground for birds like pheasant, quail, and grouse — fine enough for pattern density, but carrying sufficient mass per pellet to anchor a bird cleanly rather than just stinging it. At 1,330 fps muzzle velocity, this load moves fast enough to keep patterns tight and extend effective range compared to standard field-velocity loads, while still running reliably through most gas-operated and inertia-driven semi-automatics without beating up the action. Federal loads this shell under the Game-Shok name with a high-brass hull, which contributes to reliable extraction in dirty field conditions where chambers accumulate fouling over the course of a hunt. Packaged 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case, it’s sized for hunters who buy by the case before the season opens.
