Federal H2046 Game-Shok High Brass 20 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz 1220 fps 6 Shot 25ea

Federal Game-Shok High Brass 20 gauge ammunition delivers reliable performance for upland hunting when you're working through woods and fields after pheasant, quail, grouse, or other game birds. This 2.75" load pairs a 1-ounce payload of No. 6 shot with a high brass-plated steel head, giving you the velocity and pattern efficiency you need for clean, effective kills at typical upland ranges. Each round is built on a foundation of select propellant and a non-corrosive primer, so you get consistent ignition and reliable cycling through your shotgun—whether you're shooting a classic side-by-side, an over-under, or a semi-auto.

What sets Federal Game-Shok loads apart is the attention to shot quality. The No. 6 pellets are precision-formulated for hardness, which resists deformation in the barrel and maintains a tighter, more effective pattern downrange. Combined with the one-piece wad design, this means more consistent shot placement and fewer crippled birds—exactly what matters in the field. At 1220 fps, the velocity is tuned for upland work: fast enough to reach out, but not so scorching that it damages small-bodied game.

You get 25 rounds per box, which is the standard count for Game-Shok loads. It's a sensible pack size for a morning afield or a trip to the skeet range, and it stacks neatly in a vest pocket or shell bag. If you shoot a 20 gauge and want ammunition that balances reliability, pattern, and respect for the bird, Federal Game-Shok High Brass 6 shot is a time-tested choice.
