Description
Remington Game Load shotshells are built for upland bird hunting where you need reliable performance without the premium price tag. These 2.75-inch shells pack 1 ounce of #8 lead shot and deliver 1290 feet per second of muzzle velocity. The combination gives you pattern density for smaller game birds while keeping things affordable.
Why #8 Shot Works for Upland Game
#8 shot is the sweet spot for quail, dove, grouse, woodcock, and pheasant. It delivers enough pellets downrange to maintain a solid pattern at typical hunting distances while keeping energy consistent across the spread. Many experienced upland hunters specifically choose #8 loads for their ability to connect cleanly without tearing up meat or wasting birds. The denser pattern means you're more likely to get multiple pellets on target, which matters when birds flush at unexpected ranges.
Remington Game Load Consistency
These shells use standard Remington quality components: spherical lead shot, reliable primers, and proven propellants. You get the same consistency and performance that Remington has delivered for generations. With factory loads like these, you can count on uniform velocity and predictable ballistics from shot to shot, which translates to better patterning at the range and cleaner results in the field.
With 25 rounds per box, you've got enough for a solid practice session or a day hunting typical upland terrain. The load balances the versatility of a 12 gauge with ammunition that treats smaller game appropriately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Remington Game Load #8 shot good for pheasant?
Yes, #8 shot works well for pheasant when hunting at typical upland distances and using an appropriate choke. Many upland hunters choose #8 for its denser pattern. For longer-range pheasant hunts, some prefer heavier payloads in #6 or #7.5, but the Game Load #8 is effective for standard field conditions where most flush encounters happen within 30-35 yards.
What game can I hunt with these Game Load shells?
These are ideal for quail, dove, grouse, woodcock, and general upland birds. The #8 shot size provides good pattern density for smaller game birds. They also work for hunting rabbits and squirrels when you want to minimize meat damage. #8 shot is considered one of the best choices for close-working hunting where precision patterns matter more than raw energy.
How many pellets does Remington Game Load #8 put downrange?
A 1 ounce charge of #8 shot contains approximately 410-430 pellets depending on exact pellet size. This high pellet count is why #8 works so well for upland birds. More pellets in the pattern means a better chance of connecting on moving targets and cleaner kills with less meat damage.
Can I use these for clay target shooting?
Absolutely. The #8 shot and 1290 fps velocity make these suitable for breaking clay targets and general practice shooting. Many shooters appreciate Game Load shells for supplementing range time without the cost of dedicated trap or skeet loads. Just make sure your shotgun is rated for 2.75-inch shells.
