Description

The Wing-Shok High Velocity line from Federal Premium was built specifically for upland bird hunting. These loads use extra-hard copper-plated shot that holds its shape under high velocity, resulting in tighter patterns and deeper penetration downrange. The combination of quality primers, specially formulated clean-burning propellants, and premium components means every round fires with consistent ignition and reliable performance.

Federal Premium Wing-Shok Shot and Payload

Each shell carries 1 3/8 ounces of number 5 shot at 1500 feet per second. Number 5 strikes a balance between pattern density and energy retention, making it effective for a range of upland game at different distances. The 234 pellets per shell give you plenty of shot to work with while maintaining the velocity needed to reach out and deliver clean, hard hits on fast-moving targets.

High Velocity Design for Upland Hunting

The 1500 fps muzzle velocity provides flat trajectories and reduced lead on birds that are flushing or flying away. You'll get to your target faster than standard field loads, which means less correction needed for moving birds and more confidence in your shot placement. The heavy payload combined with the velocity ensures that your pattern stays dense enough at extended ranges where upland birds often present themselves.

Pattern Performance and Consistency

Federal Premium starts with the finest primers, inspected frequently for dimensional tolerances and charge weight consistency. The specially formulated propellants are clean-burning and meet Federal's strict specifications. This attention to detail throughout the manufacturing process means you get the same point of impact, the same pattern density, and the same energy from box to box. Whether you're patterning your gun before the season or out in the field on opening day, you can count on predictable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is the Federal Wing-Shok #5 High Velocity load best suited for?

These shells are specifically designed for upland game including pheasants, roosters, grouse, chukar, and quail. The number 5 shot size delivers enough pellets for pattern density while providing the penetration needed for these game birds. The high velocity helps you reach farther and compensate for moving targets common in upland hunting.

How does the copper-plating on the shot help performance?

The extra-hard copper plating keeps the pellets from deforming during the high-velocity firing process. This maintains their spherical shape, which results in tighter shot patterns and more consistent energy downrange. You get better pattern uniformity and deeper penetration compared to unplated lead shot, giving you cleaner, more reliable kills.

Will the Wing-Shok High Velocity cycle reliably in my shotgun?

Yes, these loads are designed with quality primers and clean-burning propellants formulated to Federal's specifications for consistent ignition and reliable cycling. The 2-3/4 inch shell length is standard and compatible with any 12 gauge shotgun chambered for that length. Most modern shotguns handle these loads without issue.

What is the difference between the 1500 fps velocity in Wing-Shok and standard field loads?

Higher velocity gives you a flatter trajectory and faster pellet delivery to your target, which reduces the lead needed on moving birds. It also helps your pattern stay denser at longer ranges, extending your effective shooting distance on upland game. The trade-off is slightly more recoil, which is typical for any high-velocity load.
