Frequently Asked Questions
What game is #6 shot in 20 gauge best suited for?
#6 shot is a versatile choice well-suited for a wide range of upland game birds including quail, dove, woodcock, and grouse, as well as small game like rabbit and squirrel. The pellet size strikes a balance between pellet count and downrange energy, delivering effective patterns at typical hunting distances of 20–40 yards.
Will these shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic 20 gauge shotguns?
Federal Game Loads are designed to meet standard pressure specifications and cycle reliably in most pump-action and semi-automatic 20 gauge shotguns. However, lighter 7/8 oz loads may not cycle in some gas-operated semi-automatics tuned for heavier payloads. Always consult your firearm's manual and test a small quantity before relying on them in the field.
How should I store unused shotgun shells to preserve their performance?
Store your Federal Game Loads in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Keep shells in their original box or an airtight ammunition container to prevent exposure to humidity, which can degrade the powder and primer over time. Properly stored shotgun ammunition can remain reliable for many years.
