Federal H1634 Game-Shok High Brass 16 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8 oz 1295 fps 4 Shot 25ea

Federal Game-Shok High Brass 16 Gauge shotshell ammunition is built for hunters working upland birds and small game over open country or through brush. This classic 2.75-inch load delivers 1 1/8 oz of #4 shot at 1295 fps from a high brass-plated steel head, engineered to handle the recoil and dynamics of a day in the field. The one-piece wad design maximizes payload efficiency, while the hardened round shot maintains tight, even patterns downrange—critical when you're taking aim at fast-moving targets at moderate range.

These are no-frills, proven loads that work. Federal's selection of quality propellant and non-corrosive primers ensures ignition you can count on, round after round. The 25-round box fits easily into a vest pocket or bag, making it practical for a morning hunt or an afternoon at the range. Whether you're after pheasant, quail, or grouse, or testing patterns before the season opens, these high-brass shells bring the reliability that field gunners have trusted for decades.

Shooting 16 gauge? You already know the bore is a sweet spot—less recoil than 12 gauge, more shot than a 20. Game-Shok loads let you make the most of it without breaking budget on every box you buy.
