Frequently Asked Questions
What game is #6 shot best suited for in 16 gauge?
#6 shot is a versatile upland choice well-suited for pheasant, quail, partridge, grouse, and small game like rabbit and squirrel. The smaller pellet size produces a denser pattern at moderate ranges (roughly 20–40 yards), making it effective for fast-flushing birds and close-cover hunting scenarios.
Is this ammunition compatible with all 16 gauge shotguns?
Federal Game Loads in 2.75" are compatible with any 16 gauge shotgun chambered for standard 2.75" shells. Always confirm your firearm's chamber length and choke compatibility before shooting. For lead shot loads like these, full chokes can be used, though improved modified or modified chokes typically yield the best all-around patterns with #6 shot.
How should I store unused shotgun shells to maintain performance?
Store your Federal Game Loads in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Keeping shells in their original box inside an ammo can or sealed container helps protect them from moisture, which can degrade powder and primer performance over time. Properly stored shotgun ammunition can remain reliable for many years.
