Federal H1266 Game-Shok High Brass 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4 oz 1330 fps 6 Shot 25ea

The Federal H1266 Game-Shok High Brass 12 gauge shotshell is a proven upland hunting load built for reliable, consistent performance on pheasant, quail, grouse, and other feathered game. Loaded to 1330 fps with 1 1/4 ounces of #6 shot, this 2.75-inch round delivers the energy and pattern density you need to cleanly take birds at practical hunting ranges. The high-brass design signals quality construction—it's a load you can trust when it matters.

Federal has engineered these shells with hardened, round shot that flies true and maintains a tight pattern downrange. That attention to pellet consistency pays off in the field: better energy retention and fewer flyers mean cleaner kills and fewer lost birds. Paired with a one-piece wad column and a non-corrosive primer, the H1266 fires cleanly and reliably in any hunting condition—cold mornings, wet fields, or a long day in the brush.

This is working ammunition for working hunters. The 25-round box format fits naturally into a hunting bag or vest, giving you enough shells for a solid day without excess bulk. Whether you're breaking in a new gun or restocking a proven load, Federal's Game-Shok line represents thoughtful ammunition design: not flashy, but genuinely engineered to put game on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is #6 shot best for?

#6 shot is ideal for upland birds like pheasant, quail, grouse, and dove. The pellet size balances energy and pattern density for clean, ethical kills at typical hunting ranges in open country or light cover.

Will Federal Game-Shok shells work in my 12 gauge shotgun?

Yes. These are 2.75-inch shells, the standard length for modern 12 gauge shotguns. Confirm your gun is chambered for 2.75\" or longer before loading. Do not use in guns marked for 2.75" only if you have a 3" or 3.5" gun—use ammo rated for your gun's chamber.

What's included in this box?

Each box contains 25 rounds of Federal H1266 Game-Shok ammunition. That's one standard box ready to load into your bag and take to the field.

Are these shells reloadable?

The provided facts do not include reloadability information. Contact Federal or your ammunition retailer for details on brass reuse and reloading compatibility.
