Description
Federal's Game-Shok Heavy Field line delivers the kind of performance you need in the field without the premium price tag. These shells are purpose-built for upland hunting and small game, throwing hard-hitting loads that pattern consistently across a variety of conditions.
Why Federal Game-Shok Heavy Field Works
The 1-1/8 ounce shot charge loaded at 1255 feet per second strikes a balance between payload and recoil that most hunters can handle all day. The #4 shot size is right at home on pheasants and larger upland birds, while still being effective on quail, rabbits, and squirrels when you need that clean take. You get Federal's track record of reliable ignition with their primers and uniform lead shot that patterns predictably, so you're not guessing whether your gun will throw a tight pattern or a loose one.
Game-Shok Heavy Field Field Performance
These shells work in any standard 12-gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75 inch shells, whether you're running an auto, pump, or over-under. The combination of brass-plated steel heads and one-piece wads keeps things stable through the chamber and down the barrel. Farmers, weekend hunters, and folks who spend serious time in the uplands know these rounds handle the real-world demands of a long hunt in the brush without requiring a second mortgage.
Whether you're breaking in a new dog or filling tags on opening weekend, Game-Shok Heavy Field gives you ammunition that does what it's supposed to do, pattern after pattern.
