FED GAME LOAD 16GA 2.75″ #7.5 25/250

Description

Federal’s Game Load line has long been the go-to choice for upland hunters who put in real volume during bird season and need ammunition that performs consistently without breaking the budget. This 16-gauge load is built around the classic upland formula: a hard shot charge moving fast enough to cleanly fold birds at typical flushing distances, packaged in a hull length that fits every standard 16-gauge chamber without issue.

The 7.5 shot size is a considered choice for upland work. The smaller pellets produce a denser pattern than larger shot at moderate ranges, which matters when you are swinging on a quail, woodcock, or pheasant in tight cover where shot-to-bird contact depends on pattern density rather than raw pellet energy. At the distances where most upland birds are taken, 7.5 shot carries sufficient energy per pellet while giving the payload enough individual pellets to fill the pattern reliably.

Federal loads these shells with hard shot to reduce deformation through the choke, which helps the pattern stay tight rather than opening up from flattened pellets. The brass-head construction on the Hi-Brass variant provides a more robust base for reliable extraction across a range of field conditions and repeated cycling through pumps or semi-autos alike.

Sold in 25-round boxes with 250-round case quantities available, this load suits hunters who shoot enough in a season to care about per-round cost without compromising on Federal’s manufacturing consistency. It is straightforward, proven upland ammunition from one of the more reliable names in shotshell production.
