Fed Gmshk Hi-br 410ga 3" #4 25/250

Federal Gamecock Hi-Brass 410 Gauge 3-inch #4 shot ammunition delivers reliable performance for upland game hunting in the field. This 25-round box of carefully crafted loads combines Federal's proven ammunition engineering with specifications optimized for effective shot placement on fur and feathered game across varied hunting conditions.

The 410 gauge cartridge paired with #4 shot size and a muzzle velocity of 1135 feet per second provides the ballistic characteristics needed for controlled energy transfer in upland hunting scenarios. The 3-inch chamber allows for increased payload capacity compared to 2.5-inch alternatives, improving pattern density at distance while maintaining manageable recoil. Hi-Brass construction—visible in the elevated brass height—indicates a more durable primer pocket and reinforced hull, translating to better functionality across varying firearm conditions and extended range sessions.

Hunters pursuing upland game such as pheasant, quail, and grouse will find this load suitable for typical shooting distances in woodland and field environments. The #4 shot size offers a balance between pellet count per ounce and individual pellet energy, making it effective on medium-sized game birds at ranges where shot string and pattern density remain critical factors. This ammunition is designed for those who demand consistent, field-proven loads without premium pricing.

As a less common gauge than 12 or 20, 410-bore ammunition requires specific firearm selection. Federal's positioning of these loads as dedicated game ammunition—rather than general-purpose or competition rounds—reflects the narrow but important niche this gauge fills for hunters working with lightweight, compact shotguns or young shooters managing recoil-sensitive platforms.
