Frequently Asked Questions
Is #7.5 steel shot effective for dove hunting?
Yes — #7.5 is one of the most popular shot sizes for dove hunting. With steel shot, the smaller, lighter pellets travel at high velocity and deliver tight, effective patterns at typical dove-shooting distances. The 7/8 oz payload in this 20 gauge load provides plenty of pellets to make clean, ethical shots on fast-moving birds.
Can I shoot these Federal Upland Steel shells through any 20 gauge shotgun?
Federal Upland Steel shells are compatible with most modern 20 gauge shotguns rated for steel shot. However, it's important to check your shotgun's manual or contact the manufacturer before shooting steel loads, as some older or tighter-choked barrels may not be rated for steel shot. Modified or more open chokes are generally recommended when using steel shot for best patterns and to protect your barrel.
Why choose steel shot over lead for upland hunting?
In many areas — including much of California and other designated non-toxic zones — steel or other non-lead shot is legally required for hunting. Even where it's not mandated, many hunters choose steel to reduce environmental lead exposure in the field. Federal's Upland Steel line is engineered to deliver the performance you'd expect from a premium upland load while fully complying with non-lead shot requirements.
