Frequently Asked Questions
What types of game is #8 shot best suited for in 16 gauge?
#8 shot is an excellent choice for smaller upland birds such as quail, dove, woodcock, and grouse at typical flushing ranges of 20–35 yards. The smaller pellet size produces a dense pattern with a large pellet count, which maximizes your chance of a clean hit on fast-moving birds. For larger birds like pheasant at longer distances, a larger shot size such as #5 or #6 may be more appropriate.

Federal Game Loads are a go-to option for dedicated 16-gauge hunters because they offer consistent quality at an accessible price point.
