Who This Is For
Federal Hi-Brass Game Loads are built for upland hunters pursuing pheasant, quail, grouse, and other small game birds, as well as those targeting small furred game at moderate ranges. The #6 shot size strikes an ideal balance between pellet count and downrange energy, making this load a go-to choice for hunters who demand dependable performance in the field without breaking the bank. It's equally at home as a practice load for sporting clays shooters who want a heavier, field-equivalent shell on the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What upland game is #6 shot best suited for?
#6 shot is one of the most popular all-around sizes for upland hunting. It carries enough pellets for dense, effective patterns on pheasant, quail, grouse, and Hungarian partridge at typical flushing distances of 20–40 yards. It also works well on rabbits and squirrels when a tighter choke is used. For very close flushes or smaller birds like woodcock, a #7.5 or #8 may be considered, but #6 remains a reliable field choice across a broad range of situations.
Is this load compatible with my semi-automatic or pump-action shotgun?
Yes. Federal Hi-Brass Game Loads are designed to cycle reliably in pump-action, semi-automatic, and break-action shotguns chambered for 2.75" or longer 12-gauge shells. The brass-plated steel head and consistent propellant charge support smooth feeding and ejection in gas-operated and inertia-driven semi-autos alike. Always consult your owner's manual to confirm your specific firearm's minimum recommended load requirements.
What choke constriction works best with this Federal Hi-Brass load?
For most upland and small game hunting with #6 lead shot, an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke provides an excellent balance of pattern spread and density at typical hunting ranges. If you're shooting at longer flushes — say 35–45 yards — stepping up to a Full or Modified choke can tighten the pattern. Avoid using steel-shot-only chokes with this lead load; standard lead-rated choke tubes are the correct choice.
