Federal H1264 Game Load High Brass 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4 oz 1330 fps 4 Shot 25ea

Federal H1264 Game Load 12 gauge ammunition is a traditional choice for upland hunters working through brush and open country after quail, pheasant, grouse, and other feathered game. At 2.75 inches, 1 1/4 oz of #4 shot, and 1330 fps, this load sits in the practical middle ground between magnum loads and lighter target rounds—enough energy for consistent kills without excessive recoil, especially over a day in the field. The hi-brass construction and one-piece wad support reliable payload delivery across a variety of shotgun patterns, while the round shot is hardened for better pattern density than softer alternatives.

Federal backs these loads with non-corrosive primers and quality propellant designed to ignite consistently, shot after shot, in weather conditions that would slow down lesser ammunition. That reliability matters when you're hunting, not at the range—you need ignition you can trust, not guesswork. The 25-round box format is practical for a hunting trip: enough for a morning or afternoon outing, light enough to carry, and still economical for frequent use.

If you're accustomed to Federal's reputation for consistency, these loads deliver the same standards. They're not specialized magnums or exotic payloads; they're straightforward, well-made shotshell ammunition built to do the job on upland game season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What upland game can I use these loads on?

Federal H1264 loads are designed for upland birds including quail, pheasant, grouse, and similar game. The #4 shot and 1 1/4 oz payload strike a balance between pattern density and energy appropriate for these species at typical hunting ranges.

What's the difference between these and magnum loads?

These are standard 2.75" loads at 1330 fps with 1 1/4 oz of shot. Magnum loads carry heavier payloads and often higher velocities in 3" shells. The H1264 offers moderate performance, less recoil, and is lighter to carry throughout a full day of hunting.

Can I use these in any 12 gauge shotgun?

These are 2.75" shells and will chamber in any standard 12 gauge shotgun that accepts 2.75" ammunition. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before loading.

What's included in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds of Federal H1264 Game Load ammunition.
