Description
Remington Game Load shotshells have earned their place in the field because they simply work when you need them to. This 12 gauge load delivers 1 ounce of #6 lead shot at 1290 feet per second, hitting that sweet spot between pattern density and shot size for everything from quail to rabbits to pheasants. You get the velocity and consistency you need without overthinking it.
Why Game Load Works for Upland Hunting
The #6 shot size sits right in the middle of what upland hunters reach for across multiple bird species. The 1 ounce payload gives you enough pellets for a forgiving pattern at typical hunting distances, while staying light enough to carry all day without beating you up. At 1290 fps, these shells have been around long enough that if you’ve hunted with Remington ammo before, you already know what to expect.
Built to Pattern Consistent
These aren’t fancy loads with premium components, but that’s the point. Remington Game Loads use straightforward construction that patterns reliably shot after shot. The shells are boxer primed and reloadable if you want to stretch your ammunition dollar even further. They come 25 to a box, which is the standard for field work.
What You’re Getting
This is lead shot ammunition designed specifically for the field. If you’re looking at these shells, you probably already know whether #6 is what you want, but it’s worth noting that this size works well for birds at moderate range. The standard 2-3/4 inch hull fires them from any standard 12 gauge shotgun. Remington’s track record with shotshells goes back over 200 years, which means these shells carry that reliability history into the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game can I hunt with #6 shot in the Game Load?
The #6 shot size in Remington Game Loads works well for upland birds including quail, rabbits, squirrels, and pheasants at typical hunting distances. It’s also suitable for small game and other upland species. The pellet size provides good density for a pattern that’s forgiving at moderate range while still having enough energy for effective takedown.
Are these shells reloadable?
Yes, Remington Game Load shells are boxer primed and designed to be reloadable. If you reload your own ammunition, these hulls can help stretch your shooting dollar over time. Just inspect the hulls for uniformity before reloading to ensure consistent performance.
How do Game Loads compare to premium Remington shotshells?
Game Loads are built for practical upland hunting without premium features. They use quality construction and reliable components that pattern consistently, but they skip the extra refinements and cost of Remington’s Premier or Nitro lines. For most hunters, the consistent performance at standard velocity is all you need in the field.
Why choose these over other 12 gauge upland loads?
Remington Game Loads deliver proven reliability at straightforward pricing. The 1 oz payload at 1290 fps is a standard that works across most upland applications, and the brand’s heritage with shotshells means you’re choosing ammunition with a long track record of field performance.
