Federal Premium Hi-Bird 12 gauge shotgun shells are purpose-built for upland bird hunting and clay shooting where distance and pattern consistency matter. This 2.75" load carries 1 1/4 ounces of #5 shot at 1350 feet per second—a velocity and payload combination that balances energy delivery with manageable recoil across a full day afield. Whether you're working doves, pigeons, crows, pheasants, or other challenging upland game, the Hi-Bird design focuses on extending your effective range and tightening patterns when it counts.
The two-piece wad system is built around Federal's SoftCell technology, which absorbs recoil energy before the shot column leaves the barrel. This reduces felt kick and helps you stay on target through multiple shots—a genuine advantage during long hunting sessions or competitive clay events. The lead shot itself is engineered for a specific hardness and density profile: hard enough to resist deformation in the bore and through the air, yet dense enough to retain downrange energy. This balance produces more uniform patterns and more consistent performance at extended distances.
Federal Premium Hi-Bird comes in a 25-round box, making it practical for a day hunt, practice session, or mixed shooting. The shell's specs—2.75" hull, 1 1/4 oz load, #5 shot, 1350 fps—are printed clearly on the box so you can confirm compatibility with your shotgun before you shoot. If your gun is patterned for this shell type, you'll have a reliable, field-proven round that doesn't apologize for performance.
