Federal Game-Shok Hi-Brass 16 Gauge 2.75in #6 Shot 25 Rounds

Description

If you're running a 16 gauge in the field, you already know finding good ammunition that won't cost you an arm and a leg can be tough. Federal Game-Shok Hi-Brass fills that gap with a load that's been proven to work season after season. This is straightforward, no-nonsense ammo designed for hunters who value patterns that hold together and reliability that doesn't let you down.

What Sets Game-Shok Hi-Brass Apart

The high-brass construction on these shells means stronger primer pocket support and more consistent chamber pressure. That translates to reliable ignition every time you pull the trigger, whether you're dealing with older side-by-side doubles or modern autoloaders. The 1-1/8 ounce payload of #6 shot comes in at 1295 feet per second, giving you the punch you need on pheasants, grouse, quail, and similar upland birds without excess recoil that wears you out after a full day in the field.

Pattern Performance and Field Use

People who've used these shells over the years consistently report clean, even patterns. The uniform hardness of the lead shot helps pellets stay grouped longer, which matters when you're working birds at normal hunting distances. For rabbit and squirrel hunting, they're equally effective, and if you ever find yourself at a clay course, they work well there too. The dram equivalent of 3.25 sits right in that middle ground where you get adequate velocity without unnecessary punishment.

Built For the Long Haul

You get 25 rounds per box, which is standard for 16 gauge. The primers are Federal's proven formula, the wads are engineered to support patterns, and the component quality matches what you'd expect from a company that's been making ammunition for over a century. These aren't premium shells, and they're not advertised as such, but they're honest ammunition that does what it's supposed to do without asking more from your wallet.
