Description
Federal Premium Wing-Shok Pheasant Forever delivers what serious upland hunters expect: speed, consistency, and patterns tight enough to matter when birds flush. These 2-3/4" shells pack a 1-1/4 ounce payload of #7.5 copper-plated lead shot traveling at 1500 fps, giving you the velocity and shot density to reach birds across open ground and through light cover. That #7.5 size is the sweet spot for pheasants, grouse, and quail where you need enough shot count for pattern density without overshooting smaller targets.
What Makes Wing-Shok Shells Different
The copper plating is the real difference. It resists deformation as the shell cycles through your barrel, which means more uniform patterns and less feather draw when birds flush. The high-velocity formula works with buffered loads to keep pellets from flattening on each other, maintaining that tight spreading you're counting on. Federal starts with inspected primers and clean-burning powders formulated to their specs, so you get reliable ignition and consistent performance shot to shot.
The Pheasants Forever Connection
A portion of every box sold goes directly to Pheasants Forever, supporting their work on habitat preservation and upland bird conservation. You're not just stocking your gun with effective shells, you're contributing to the health of the landscape that makes wing hunting possible.
The Real Application
These aren't general purpose field loads. They're engineered specifically for upland hunting where consistent patterns matter more than power. Twenty-five rounds per box gives you plenty to pattern your shotgun and tackle a solid hunting day. If your gun handles high-velocity loads well, these will reward you with the kind of performance that makes clean birds fall.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between #7.5 shot and other sizes in Wing-Shok?
The #7.5 shot delivers roughly 437 pellets per shell, giving you denser coverage without being so fine that you're wasting energy on overkill on game birds. It's ideal for pheasants, grouse, and quail where you want adequate pattern density and knock-down power at moderate range. Larger shot like #4 or #5 carries more energy per pellet but delivers fewer pellets, while #6 puts down more pellets but each one is lighter. Federal offers all three to let hunters choose what works for their gun and style of hunting.
Will these shells work in any 12 gauge shotgun?
These 2-3/4" shells fit standard 12 gauge chambers. Because they're high-velocity loads with a heavy payload, they do produce more recoil than lighter loads, so check your gun's recommendations. Some older shotguns or those rated only for light loads may not cycle these reliably. Running a couple patterns at the range before hunting season tells you exactly how your gun likes them.
How does the copper plating actually improve performance?
Copper-plated shot resists deforming when the shell cycles and fires through your barrel, so pellets stay round. Round pellets stack together more uniformly in the pattern, giving you denser, more predictable coverage downrange. It also reduces feather draw where pellets separate mid-flight, keeping your pattern tighter the further out the bird goes. For upland hunting where your shots matter, it's a real advantage.
Where does the Pheasants Forever money go?
Federal donates a portion of proceeds from every Pheasants Forever box to Pheasants Forever, a nonprofit dedicated to habitat improvement, land management, and conservation education focused on upland birds. Each shell you shoot supports their mission to maintain the grasslands and cover that upland hunting depends on.
