Fed Stl 12ga 2.75" #7.5 1 Oz 25/250

Federal Steel 12 gauge 2.75" #7.5 shot ammunition delivers consistent, non-lead performance for upland game hunting in areas where steel shot is required. These 1 ounce loads combine quality steel payloads with high velocity to generate effective patterns on doves, quail, pheasant, and other light upland species. The 25-round pack (250 rounds per case) supports extended training sessions and field days without interruption.

The Federal Upland Steel line prioritizes velocity and consistency—two factors that directly impact shot placement on fast-moving birds. Steel shot requires faster muzzle velocities than lead to achieve comparable energy and pattern density, and Federal's engineering delivers that performance from standard 12-gauge barrels. The 2.75-inch hull provides reliable cycling in conventional semi-auto and pump shotguns while keeping recoil manageable during high-volume shooting. Each load is quality-controlled for consistent ignition and powder charge, reducing the variables that create wide pattern dispersion in the field.

This ammunition is purpose-built for hunters operating in steel-shot-only zones—increasingly common across waterfowl and upland regions due to environmental regulations. It's also the practical choice for shooters training at ranges that mandate non-toxic ammunition. The 1-ounce payload and #7.5 shot size balance pattern tightness with adequate pellet count, making it effective for the medium ranges typical of upland hunting. Shooters should verify barrel markings accept steel shot before use, and consider their shotgun's choke tubes to optimize pattern performance.
