Federal Game Load Upland Ammunition 24 Gauge 2-1/2" 11/16 oz #8 Shot Box of 25

Federal Game Load Upland ammunition in 24 gauge brings affordable, reliable performance to upland bird hunting across a variety of terrain and game. Whether you're working fields for pheasant, quail, or grouse, or moving through brush and timber, these 2-1/2" shells deliver consistent patterns without the premium price tag of specialty loads. The 11/16 oz #8 shot charge and 282-pellet payload are sized for medium-range work on upland birds where precision and clean kills matter.

Federal engineered these shells with hardened round shot designed to tighten your pattern and improve hit probability downrange. The one-piece wad and brass-plated steel head support an efficient, dependable payload. Backed by a non-corrosive primer and quality propellant, Federal Game Loads fire cleanly and cycle reliably through standard upland shotguns. At 1280 fps muzzle velocity, you get proven ballistics that have worked for generations of upland hunters without fuss or fanfare.

The 24 gauge itself is a smart choice for upland work—lighter recoil than 20 gauge, tighter patterns than .410, and affordable ammo like this keeps you shooting. Box of 25 rounds means you can load up for a full day afield without breaking the bank or straining your shoulder. Federal Game Loads are the workhorse upland round: no hype, no gimmicks, just ammunition built to put birds in the bag.
