Shot payload and pattern characteristics

The 1 1/4 ounce shot charge in these 12-gauge, 2.75-inch shells delivers adequate downrange energy for typical game bird ranges. Number 6 shot size strikes a balance between pattern density and individual pellet energy—suitable for pheasant, quail, and similar upland species. Federal's Game Load line prioritizes consistency across the box, which translates to predictable point-of-impact and tighter patterns at 25 to 40 yards. Ammunition selection affects your shooting experience significantly; proper load matching ensures reliable performance. Learn more about firearm classifications at PC §32100 exempt revolvers.
