Frequently Asked Questions
What upland game is Federal Game-Shok #8 best suited for?
Federal Game-Shok #8 shot is ideally suited for small to medium upland birds including quail, dove, woodcock, and snipe. The smaller pellet size produces tight, dense patterns that maximize hit probability on fast-flying, light-bodied birds at ranges typically inside 35 yards. It is less ideal for larger birds like pheasant, where a heavier shot size such as #5 or #6 would be a better choice.
Will these shells cycle reliably in a semi-automatic 20-gauge shotgun?
Federal Game-Shok loads are designed to function in a wide range of 20-gauge shotguns, including semi-automatics, pump-actions, and over/unders. However, some gas-operated semi-automatic shotguns may require a minimum payload or velocity to cycle reliably. Always consult your firearm's owner's manual for recommended minimum load specifications, and test a box through your specific gun before heading afield.
How should I store shotgun ammunition to maintain its performance?
Store your Federal Game-Shok shells in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and high humidity. Keep ammunition in its original box or a sealed container to prevent moisture exposure. Properly stored shotshells can maintain their performance characteristics for many years. Avoid storing ammunition near solvents, fuels, or other chemicals that could degrade the hull or primer.
