Fed Game Load 12ga 2.75" #8 25/250

Federal Game Load 12ga 2.75" #8 shotgun ammunition delivers reliable performance for upland game hunting in woods and fields. Each round combines high-quality hardened shot with select propellant and non-corrosive primers, engineered to achieve tight, consistent patterns across typical hunting distances. This 25-round box (packed in a 250-round case) provides the shot size and velocity profile optimized for birds and small game where pattern density matters more than deep penetration.

The #8 shot specification uses premium-grade lead pellets formulated for hardness consistency, which improves pattern efficiency and reduces flyers that compromise accuracy. The 2.75-inch hull length is the standard for most pump and semi-automatic shotguns, offering a balance between velocity and recoil management. Federal's non-corrosive primer system ensures reliable ignition across temperature and humidity conditions typical in field hunting, while the propellant charge is calibrated for clean burning and predictable ballistics.

Hunters targeting pheasant, quail, grouse, and other upland species benefit from the tighter, denser patterns that #8 shot produces compared to larger shot sizes. Game Load ammunition is sized for shooters who demand consistent, field-proven performance without premium pricing. Whether hunting public land or private property, this ammunition pairs well with standard choke tubes and delivers the shot-to-target consistency that wing-shooting demands.
