Frequently Asked Questions
What upland game birds is Federal Game-Shok #6 shot best suited for?
#6 shot is one of the most versatile upland sizes available, making this load well-suited for pheasant at moderate ranges, quail, chukar, Hungarian partridge, and grouse. The dense pattern of #6 pellets provides enough shot count to ensure clean kills on birds up to the size of a rooster pheasant within typical hunting distances of 20–40 yards.
Will this ammunition function reliably in semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns?
Yes. Federal Game-Shok 2¾" loads are designed to cycle reliably in virtually all standard 12-gauge shotguns, including semi-automatics, pump-actions, and break-action doubles. As always, consult your firearm's owner manual to confirm minimum recommended load specifications, particularly for gas-operated semi-automatics that may have a minimum velocity requirement.
How does 1 oz. of #6 shot compare to heavier upland loads?
A 1 oz. load of #6 shot contains approximately 225 pellets, delivering a dense, even pattern ideal for most upland hunting scenarios. Compared to heavier 1⅛ oz. or 1¼ oz. loads, the 1 oz. charge produces less recoil — an advantage during high-volume shooting days — while still offering sufficient energy for clean, ethical kills on upland birds at normal field ranges.
