Fed Game Load 12ga 2 3/4" #8 25/250

Federal Game Load 12ga 2 3/4" #8 shot delivers proven upland game performance in a 25-round box configuration. This 12 gauge shotshell is purpose-built for hunters pursuing birds and small game across varied terrain, combining reliable ignition with consistent shot patterns that have established Federal's reputation in the field.

The load specifications reflect careful engineering for upland applications. Each round pushes 1 ounce of #8 shot at 1,290 feet per second—a velocity profile optimized for effective range and energy retention on lightweight game birds at typical hunting distances. The 2 3/4-inch shell length maintains compatibility with standard field shotguns while delivering adequate payload for controlled, ethical harvests. Shot size #8 provides the density needed for clean kills on pheasant, quail, and similar upland species without excessive pellet energy waste.

This ammunition suits hunters and sport shooters who prioritize pattern consistency and dependable ignition across changing conditions—early morning moisture, temperature swings, or extended field days. The 25-round per-box packaging aligns with typical daily harvest limits and training scenarios, reducing unnecessary carryover while maintaining sufficient volume for effective practice or multi-day hunts. Federal's manufacturing standards ensure primer reliability and case integrity, critical for shooters who rely on consistent performance.

Game-Shok ammunition represents Federal's dedicated line for hunting applications, distinct from clay-target or specialty loads. The product positions itself as a cost-conscious alternative to premium upland lines while maintaining the quality controls necessary for field reliability.
