Federal Game Load Upland Heavy Field Ammunition 20 Gauge 2-3/4" 1 oz

Federal Game Load Upland Heavy Field 20 Gauge 2-3/4" ammunition delivers reliable, effective performance across a range of upland hunting scenarios. The 1 oz shot payload is designed to handle everything from quail and grouse to pheasant, making this 20 gauge round a practical choice for hunters who appreciate the lighter recoil and pointability of a smaller gauge without sacrificing stopping power on birds. Whether you're working brushy cover or open fields, these shells are built to perform when it counts.

The round shot in these Federal loads is formulated for optimum hardness, which translates to tighter, more consistent patterns downrange. That pattern efficiency matters when your target is fast and small. The brass-plated steel head and one-piece wad design work together to maximize the payload, keeping shot in a dense cluster longer and maintaining energy at distance. Paired with Federal's select, high-quality propellant and non-corrosive primer, ignition is consistent and reliable—round after round, box after box.

Federal has engineered these shells to handle the demands of real-world upland hunting: the unpredictable flush, the long second barrel, the afternoon when you've already fired fifty rounds and need fifty more. The non-corrosive primer means easier cleanup, and the consistent performance means fewer misses you can blame on the ammunition.
