Federal Game Load Upland Hi-Brass Ammunition 20 Gauge 2-3/4" 1 oz

Federal Game Load Upland Hi-Brass 20 gauge ammunition is built for hunters who want reliable, consistent performance on upland birds without breaking the bank. These 2-3/4" shells deliver a 1 oz payload in #7.5 shot, a proven load for quail, grouse, pheasant, and other feathered game. The hi-brass construction signals quality ammunition engineered specifically for the working shotgun—whether you're threading through brushy creek bottoms or pushing into open fields.

What sets Federal's Game Load line apart is the attention to detail. The shot itself is formulated for hardness, which means tighter, more efficient patterns downrange. That translates to cleaner kills and fewer lost birds. The brass-plated steel head and single-piece wad design maximize the payload capacity, so you're getting proper shot weight in every hull. Federal pairs this with a select propellant and non-corrosive primer that fire reliably in both new and older shotguns.

For upland hunters running a 20 gauge—whether it's a lightweight over-under, a classic side-by-side, or a semi-auto—this is the kind of ammunition that earns its place in your vest. It's the no-nonsense choice for folks who want their ammo to shoot and shoot well, without chasing hype or paying for features they don't need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What upland game is #7.5 shot best for?

#7.5 shot is a versatile upland load effective on quail, grouse, pheasant, and similar-sized game birds. The pellet size provides good density for clean, reliable kills at typical hunting ranges.

Will this ammunition work in older 20 gauge shotguns?

Yes. Federal Game Load Upland is designed to cycle reliably in both modern and older 20 gauge shotguns. The non-corrosive primer and standard 2-3/4" length ensure broad compatibility, though you should always verify your gun's manual for any specific load recommendations.

What's the difference between hi-brass and low-brass ammunition?

Hi-brass shells feature a longer brass-plated steel head, which provides better structural integrity and is traditionally associated with heavier loads and repeated use in semi-automatic shotguns. For upland hunting, hi-brass ammunition signals quality construction and durability.

Is this ammunition suitable for clay target shooting?

Federal Game Load Upland is designed for hunting and is optimized for bird-sized targets at hunting distances. For clay shooting, dedicated clay target loads may offer better performance and economy.
