Description
Fiocchi's Field Dynamics High Velocity 28 gauge loads are purpose-built for people who want to step away from bigger gauges without sacrificing reliability. This is a straightforward, no-nonsense load: 3/4 ounce of chilled lead shot in a 2.75-inch plastic hull, moving downrange at 1300 fps.
The 28 gauge has earned a loyal following over the years, and for good reason. You get a nimble gun that points faster, swings easier, and doesn't pummel your shoulder after a full day in the field. The Field Dynamics load pairs perfectly with that philosophy by keeping things simple. The quality chilled shot patterns consistently thanks to a one-piece shot cup design. Fiocchi wraps it all together with clean-burning powders and reliable primers that go off every time.
Field Dynamics for Small Game and Clay Work
The #9 shot size makes this load ideal for birds like quail and dove, where you need decent pellet count over raw power. At reasonable hunting distances, especially in tight cover, this combination works because you're focused on putting the pattern where it counts. For clay shooters who like working with 28 gauge in competitive events or just practicing at the range, these shells perform cleanly without excessive smoke or buildup.
Why the 2.75-Inch Matters
Plenty of ammunition companies load heavier payloads into 3-inch 28 gauge shells now, but the 2.75-inch format is the real workhorse for this gauge. It fits in every 28 gauge gun ever made, whether yours is a vintage over-under or a modern semi-auto. That universal compatibility, combined with the solid 1300 fps velocity, means you're buying ammo that performs the same way in any 28 gauge you own or might own later. Field Dynamics boxes contain 25 rounds, and they're packaged 10 boxes to a case if you're stocking up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is the Fiocchi 28 gauge #9 shot best suited for?
The #9 shot size excels on small upland birds like quail, dove, and woodcock. At reasonable hunting ranges, the high pellet count gives you reliable patterns on these targets. Some hunters use it on grouse as well, though you'll want to stay within 30-35 yards for clean, ethical shots depending on choke and gun fit.
How does this load compare to other 28 gauge loads?
This Field Dynamics load keeps things simple and practical with its 2.75-inch format and 3/4 ounce payload. It's lighter than some newer 3-inch loads available, which means less recoil and universal compatibility with any 28 gauge shotgun. The 1300 fps velocity is standard for high-velocity field loads and delivers good downrange performance.
Can I use Fiocchi 28 gauge Field Dynamics shells for clay shooting?
Yes. The #9 shot and consistent patterns make these shells workable for skeet and some clay target applications, though many competitive clay shooters prefer #8 or #8.5 for tighter shot strings. That said, plenty of target shooters use #9 successfully, so it comes down to your gun and your shooting style.
Why choose 2.75-inch shells over the newer 3-inch 28 gauge loads?
The 2.75-inch is the proven standard for 28 gauge. Every gun made in this gauge handles it perfectly, and you get decades of field-tested reliability. If you already own multiple 28 gauge shotguns, 2.75-inch ammo guarantees compatibility across all of them without needing to worry about which gun accepts what shell length.
