Federal Hi-Bird 12ga 2.75" #5 shot ammunition delivers consistent, hard-hitting performance for waterfowl and upland hunting where precision pellet placement matters. Designed for hunters who demand reliable long-range patterns and reduced felt recoil, this 25-round box ammunition combines Federal's decades of ballistic engineering with field-proven shot dynamics. Whether pursuing doves, crows, pigeons, or challenging pheasants across varied terrain, the Hi-Bird platform provides the velocity and pattern density needed for ethical, clean harvests at extended distances.
The Federal Hi-Bird uses a specialized two-piece wad design incorporating SoftCell technology—a proven recoil-dampening system that absorbs energy during ignition, significantly decreasing perceived recoil without sacrificing velocity or shot consistency. The #5 pellet profile balances penetration and pattern density, ideal for medium-range engagement where tight grouping and uniform spread are critical. This 2.75-inch casing operates at standard 12-gauge pressure levels, ensuring reliable cycling in all modern and legacy 12-gauge platforms while maintaining clean, consistent shot strings downrange.
Tactical and sport shooters working upland scenarios or competitive clay events will appreciate the predictable ballistics and reduced recoil signature, which aids rapid follow-up accuracy during fast-paced field situations. Law enforcement and security personnel conducting non-lethal dispersal operations also benefit from the reliable pattern and moderate recoil management. The 25-round box configuration supports extended field sessions without requiring frequent resupply, making it practical for day-long hunts or training cycles. Compatible with all standard 12-gauge shotguns manufactured to SAAMI specifications.
