Federal Ammunition Fed Upland Paper 20Ga 2.75 1Oz #4 25/10
Federal Ammunition's Upland Paper shotshells bring back the charm of classic upland hunting without asking you to sacrifice modern ballistics. The 20-gauge, 2.75-inch load pairs a traditional waxed-paper hull with Federal's hard-hitting payload of extra-hard copper-plated lead shot, delivering the authentic look and feel hunters have trusted for generations. With 1 ounce of #4 shot and a purpose-built wad column, these rounds are engineered for consistent, reliable performance on pheasant, grouse, quail, and other upland game.
The nostalgia factor is real—the waxed-paper hull delivers that distinctive appearance and handling that many upland hunters prefer—but Federal didn't sacrifice velocity or shot quality to get there. The carefully selected propellant and primer combination ensures clean, efficient ignition shot after shot, while the extra-hard copper plating on each pellet fights deformation and maintains a tighter, more lethal pattern downrange.
If you're a traditionalist who hunts upland birds or small game and wants ammunition that honors the heritage of shotgun hunting while delivering the ballistic consistency modern hunters expect, Federal Upland Paper is worth considering. Each box contains 25 rounds, so you're well-stocked for a solid day in the field.
