Frequently Asked Questions
What game is #7.5 shot in 20 gauge best suited for?
#7.5 shot is an excellent all-around upland choice, delivering effective knockdown power on quail, dove, grouse, woodcock, and close-flushing pheasant. The smaller pellet size produces dense, consistent patterns at typical upland hunting distances of 20–35 yards, making it a popular option for hunters who want versatility across multiple species in a single box of shells.
Will these shells work in all 20 gauge shotguns?
Yes. Federal Heavy Field Game Loads in 2.75" are compatible with virtually all 20 gauge shotguns, including semi-automatics, pump-actions, over-unders, and side-by-sides, provided the chamber is rated for 2.75" shells. Always verify your firearm's manufacturer recommendations before use, and ensure your choke selection — typically Improved Cylinder to Modified — matches the shot size and range you're hunting.
How should I store shotgun ammunition to maintain its performance?
Store your Federal Heavy Field Game Loads in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. Keep ammunition in its original box and away from solvents or cleaning chemicals. Properly stored shotgun shells can maintain reliable performance for many years. Avoid storing ammo in vehicle gloveboxes or trunks where temperatures can fluctuate significantly.
