Fed Gmshk Hi-br 410ga 3" #5 25/250

Federal Game-Shok Hi-Brass 410 gauge 3-inch #5 shot ammunition delivers proven upland hunting performance in a 25-round-per-box configuration. Designed for upland game birds across varied terrain, these loads balance pattern density with effective range, making them a working choice for hunters who need consistent results in fields and woodlands.

The 3-inch shotshell generates 1,135 feet per second muzzle velocity, a moderate speed that preserves lead shot integrity and minimizes excessive recoil while maintaining sufficient energy for fur and feather. Number 5 shot is the standard choice for upland applications, offering a middle-ground pellet count that covers optimal striking density for quail, pheasant, and similar gamebird species. Hi-brass construction indicates premium case quality, which translates to more reliable feeding, better reloadability for those who reload, and consistent chamber pressures across the box.

This load suits hunters who run lightweight 410-bore shotguns for all-day field work. The 410 gauge imposes practical limits on range compared to 20 or 12 gauge, so shot selection and velocity matter more—the #5 sizing and proven velocity specification here account for that reality. Shooters using modified or full chokes will achieve tighter patterns than open chokes, affecting effective hunting distance.

Federal Game-Shok ammunition has maintained steady market presence in the upland segment, recognized for consistent factory loads at accessible price points. The 410 gauge itself remains niche—less forgiving of shooter error than larger bores, but valued by hunters prioritizing light recoil or using vintage/heirloom firearms.
