Federal H1236 Game-Shok Heavy Field 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8 oz 1255 fps 6 Shot 25ea

The Federal H1236 Game-Shok Heavy Field 12 gauge shotgun ammo is a workhorse load built for upland hunters who want reliable performance without overthinking it. Load your 12 gauge with 1 1/8 oz of #6 shot at 1255 fps and you've got a well-balanced round that patterns predictably on pheasant, quail, grouse, and similar upland game out to practical hunting distances. Federal's Heavy Field ammunition uses hardened, high-quality round shot designed to group tighter and retain energy better than standard loads—the kind of edge that matters when your bird is crossing a fence line.

What makes this load tick is Federal's attention to the details that shooters actually care about. The brass-plated steel head and single-piece wad are engineered to handle the payload efficiently, so you get consistent velocity and pattern. The propellant and non-corrosive primers are selected for reliable ignition shot after shot, whether you're working through a box at the skeet range or hunting from dawn to dusk. The 2.75" hull keeps recoil manageable for a full day in the field without wearing you out.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you can load up for a day's hunt or a session at the trap range without fussing with bulk packs. If you run a 12 gauge for upland work and want ammunition that does its job without flash and hype, Federal's Heavy Field line has earned its place in shotguns across America.
