Frequently Asked Questions
What type of game is #6 shot most effective for?
#6 shot is one of the most versatile upland hunting loads available. It performs well on mid-size birds like pheasant and grouse at moderate ranges, and is equally capable on smaller game like quail, dove, and cottontail rabbit. The 1 oz payload in this 20 gauge load delivers a dense, effective pattern out to typical field ranges of 25–40 yards.
Is this ammunition compatible with all 20 gauge shotguns?
Federal Game Load 2.75" shells are compatible with any standard 20 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75" shells, including break-action, pump-action, and semi-automatic models. Always consult your firearm's owner manual to confirm chamber length and choke compatibility before use. For best patterning results with #6 shot, a Modified or Improved Modified choke is commonly recommended.
Can this load be used for target shooting or trap in addition to hunting?
While Federal Game Load is specifically formulated for hunting applications, the 1 oz #6 load can be used for informal clay target practice and skeet or trap shooting. However, dedicated target loads are typically optimized for lower recoil and tighter tolerances. For casual practice between hunting seasons, this load works perfectly well and helps you stay sharp for the field.
