Federal H2045 Game-Shok High Brass 20 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz 1220 fps 5 Shot 25ea

Federal Game-Shok High Brass 20 gauge shotshells deliver reliable, effective performance on upland game birds across woods and fields. Built on a proven platform, these 2.75" shells carry a 1-ounce payload at 1220 fps—a classic upland load that balances recoil management with effective shot delivery in a lighter gauge. The high brass-plated steel head and one-piece wad design support consistent payloads and ignition, making them a straightforward choice for pheasant, quail, grouse, and similar gamebirds where #5 shot is your load.

What sets these apart is Federal's attention to shot quality. The round shot is hardened to maintain pattern integrity downrange, so your patterns stay dense through cover and out to practical hunting distances. Paired with select propellant and non-corrosive primers, ignition is efficient and reliable across a range of 20-gauge shotguns—no surprises on opening day.

A box of 25 rounds gives you enough for a productive morning or an afternoon of pattern work and practice. If you're running a lighter 20-gauge for upland hunting or simply prefer the reduced recoil without sacrificing performance, Federal Game-Shok High Brass loads are worth keeping in your vest.
