Federal H28975 Game-Shok High Brass 28 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz 1220 fps 7.5 Shot 25ea

Federal Game-Shok High Brass 28 gauge shotshells deliver the speed and pattern consistency that upland hunters and clay shooters expect from a field-proven load. Each 2.75-inch shell carries 1 ounce of #7.5 lead shot at 1220 fps, built on Federal's two-piece wad system with SoftCell technology—a proven design that manages recoil while maintaining shot density downrange. The 28 gauge has earned its place among hunters who value efficiency in lighter-recoiling platforms, whether you're working through brush after quail, targeting doves over water, or breaking clays at the club.

The #7.5 shot size sits in that sweet spot for upland game like pheasants, crows, and pigeons, offering enough pellet count to build dense patterns without overshooting targets that don't need magnum-sized projectiles. Federal's lead shot is engineered to balance hardness and density—the combination that separates consistent, pattern-dense loads from budget ammo that scatters and drops energy fast. High brass cases are a mark of full-velocity ammunition; you're getting the performance the box promises, not a reduced-recoil variant that cuts velocity to save shoulder punishment.

A 25-round box is the practical standard for testing loads in your gun and managing a day afield without hauling a full case. If you're already invested in a 28 gauge or thinking about the gauge's rising popularity as an alternative to 12s and 20s, Game-Shok High Brass offers proven ballistics at a fair price point. These aren't premium competition shells or fancy turkey loads—they're honest, consistent ammunition for hunters and shooters who know what they want and don't need marketing hype to make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 28 gauge ammo best used for?

The 28 gauge excels in upland hunting—pheasants, quail, crows, and pigeons—and clay shooting. #7.5 shot is a popular choice for these applications because it provides good pellet density and range without unnecessary recoil.

What does "high brass" mean on shotshell ammunition?

High brass cases contain more brass material on the head of the shell, indicating a full-velocity load. Federal Game-Shok High Brass delivers the 1220 fps velocity printed on the box, not a reduced or light load.

What does SoftCell technology do?

The SoftCell technology in Federal's two-piece wad system is designed to decrease perceived recoil and produce more consistent long-range shot patterns by managing pellet deformation and spacing as the shot column travels down the barrel.

How many rounds are in a box of Federal Game-Shok?

This product comes as a 25-round box, a standard size for testing loads in your gun and managing use over a hunting or practice session without hauling larger quantities.
