Description
Fiocchi has been loading ammunition for over a century, and their High Velocity 28 gauge line shows why field hunters keep coming back. This load pairs a 3/4 ounce of carefully selected lead shot with components designed to shoot clean and pattern tight. At 1300 fps, you're getting velocity that extends your effective range without the recoil you'd get from stepping up to a 20 gauge.
What Makes These 28 Gauge Loads Stand Out
The real story here is in the construction. You get a plastic hull designed to handle repeated cycling through any 28 gauge, paired with a cushioned wad that's doing real work to protect your patterns. The number 7.5 shot size is the sweet spot for upland work, giving you enough pellets for consistent hits on birds like dove, quail, and grouse without being over-choked for closer work. The chilled lead shot stays round and true through the barrel.
Built for All-Day Hunting
There's a reason the 28 gauge keeps gaining fans among upland hunters. The recoil is genuinely mild, which matters when you're covering ground all day. Fiocchi's quality control on powders and primers means you're getting consistent velocities from round to round, so your point of aim stays your point of impact. These are honest working loads that won't surprise you, whether you're in open prairie or tight cover.
Each box contains 25 rounds, and they come packed 25 boxes per case if you're buying in quantity. The 2.75 inch length works in any standard 28 gauge chamber.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shot size should I use for quail and dove hunting with my 28 gauge?
The number 7.5 shot in these Fiocchi loads is widely regarded as the best choice for quail and dove. It carries enough pellets for consistent patterns on small birds without being oversized for typical upland ranges. Many hunters prefer it because the extra pellets give you margin for error without excessive recoil.
How does the 28 gauge compare to 20 gauge for upland hunting?
The 28 gauge delivers noticeably less recoil while maintaining effective patterns at typical upland ranges. Modern loads like these Fiocchi shells have improved ballistic performance to the point that many hunters consider them more efficient than comparable 20 gauge loads. The trade-off is finding ammunition, which means buying cases when you locate them.
Are these High Velocity loads too much for lightweight 28 gauge shotguns?
At 1300 fps, the recoil is still very mild compared to larger gauge shotguns, even in a lightweight gun. The 28 gauge is known for its gentle handling, and these loads maintain that advantage while giving you the velocity for better range. You'll be more comfortable shooting these all day than you would with any 12 or 20 gauge load.
Will these rounds pattern well in my choke tubes?
Yes. The quality construction with chilled lead shot and a proper wad design works well across standard upland chokes. The 3/4 ounce payload with number 7.5 shot is designed for the tighter, more consistent patterns that field hunters expect from modern ammunition.
