Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Federal Upland Steel shells in any 12-gauge shotgun?
Federal Upland Steel 2.75" shells are compatible with the vast majority of 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75" or longer. However, because steel shot is harder than lead, you should always use choke tubes rated for steel — typically Improved Cylinder (IC) or Modified (M) at tightest. Avoid using Full or Extra-Full chokes with steel shot, as the combination can damage your barrel or choke. Check your firearm's manual or contact the manufacturer if you're unsure about steel shot compatibility.
Is #7.5 steel shot effective for dove hunting?
Yes — #7.5 is a popular choice for doves and other small, light-bodied upland birds. Because steel is less dense than lead, it loses velocity faster downrange, so shots are most effective within 35–40 yards. The 1,400 FPS muzzle velocity in this load helps compensate for that energy loss, delivering reliable terminal performance on doves, pigeons, and similar game at typical hunting distances.
Is this ammunition required for hunting in California?
California requires the use of non-lead (non-toxic) ammunition for all hunting statewide, including dove and upland game bird hunting. Federal Upland Steel uses steel shot, which fully complies with California's non-lead ammunition regulations. Always verify current regulations with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife before your hunt, as requirements and species-specific rules can be updated seasonally.
