The Federal H2895 Game-Shok High Brass 28 gauge shotshell is a time-tested choice for upland bird hunters and small game shooters who value reliability without breaking the bank. Loaded with 1 ounce of #5 shot at 1220 fps, this round delivers consistent performance across a range of hunting scenarios—from quail and grouse to rabbits and other small game. The high brass construction adds durability and reliable feeding, while the 2.75-inch case fits standard 28 gauge pump and semi-auto shotguns.

Federal's Game-Shok line has earned a solid reputation among hunters for predictable, no-nonsense performance. These aren't match-grade precision rounds; they're built to cycle reliably, pattern cleanly, and deliver enough shot at sensible velocities to get the job done in the field. At 1 oz of shot, you're working with a moderate pellet count that works well on birds and small game at typical hunting ranges, and the #5 shot size strikes a practical balance between pattern density and energy retention.

Whether you're hunting over pointers and setters, working a creek bottom for rabbits, or testing loads before the season opener, having a dependable, affordable option on the shelf makes sense. The 25-round box fits easily in a hunting bag, and you can stock up without the sticker shock of premium loads, freeing up budget for more time afield.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotguns will this 28 gauge load work in?

Federal H2895 shells are loaded to standard 2.75-inch 28 gauge dimensions, so they'll cycle through any 28 gauge pump, semi-automatic, or break-action shotgun chambered for 2.75" shells. If your shotgun is marked for 3" shells, check your manual—many 3" guns will accept 2.75" loads, but always verify before shooting.

Is #5 shot good for hunting upland birds?

Yes. #5 shot is a proven choice for upland game birds like quail, grouse, and pheasant at typical hunting distances. The pellet size offers a reasonable balance between pattern density and individual pellet energy for clean, ethical kills on birds in the 1–3 pound range.

Can I use these shells for small game like rabbits?

Absolutely. The 1 ounce #5 shot load is equally effective on rabbits and other small game. Many hunters appreciate the moderate recoil and predictable pattern at brush and creek-bottom ranges where small game hunting typically happens.

How many shells are in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, making it a practical quantity for a hunting trip, practice session, or to keep on hand as a reliable backup load.
