Federal High Bird ammunition delivers the energy and pattern density you need for consistent upland and competition shooting. These 12-gauge 2.75-inch shells pack 1.25 ounces of #6 lead shot at 1330 feet per second—velocity that counts when birds are climbing. The carefully engineered lead composition balances hardness and density to maintain tight patterns downrange and maximum effectiveness at distance, whether you're hunting pheasant, quail, or running a high-volume clay course.
What sets High Bird apart is its fiber wad design. Federal uses a cellulose-based over-powder wad that performs like traditional plastic but breaks down in the field, leaving less spent plastic behind. If you shoot volume and care about your environmental footprint, this matters—you get no compromise in ballistics while reducing cleanup on your hunting land or club grounds.
These are serious working shells: consistent ignition, reliable feeding, and patterns that stay dense enough to drop birds cleanly. Reloaders and high-round shooters have long trusted Federal's manufacturing standards, and High Bird maintains that reputation in an eco-conscious package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Federal High Bird ammunition used for?
High Bird shells are engineered for upland hunting and clay target sports. The #6 shot and high velocity make them suitable for pheasant, quail, and similar game, as well as competitive shooting where pattern density and consistency matter.
How do fiber wad shells compare to standard plastic wad ammunition?
Fiber wad shells perform ballistically identically to traditional plastic-wad loads—same velocity, same pattern density, same downrange energy. The difference is environmental: the cellulose-based wad breaks down in the field rather than accumulating as plastic debris, making cleanup easier on high-volume shooting days.
Are these shells compatible with any 12-gauge shotgun?
These are standard 2.75-inch 12-gauge shells. They will chamber in any 12-gauge shotgun rated for 2.75-inch ammunition. Always confirm your gun's chamber specifications before loading.
What does the "25/10" designation mean?
The package is 25 rounds. The "10" indicates the product is sold as a quantity case (often 10 boxes of 25 rounds each, though confirm the exact case pack with your retailer).
