Federal P1296 Premium Upland Wing-Shok High Velocity 12 Gauge 3 1-5/8 oz 6 Shot 25 Bx/ 10 Cs in.

Federal Premium Upland Wing-Shok High Velocity 12 gauge shotshells are built for hunters who want a reliable, hard-hitting load for upland game. These 3-inch shells deliver 1-5/8 oz of #6 shot at high velocity, combining the speed and pattern density that upland bird hunters depend on in the field. Whether you're working through brush for quail and grouse or pushing into open cover, Wing-Shok High Velocity shells are engineered to perform when it counts.

The core of Wing-Shok's reputation is its hard copper-plated shot, which resists deformation in the barrel and maintains a tighter pattern downrange. This consistency matters when your target is a fast-flushing rooster or a quick quail—tighter patterns mean more effective range and cleaner, more reliable kills. The high-velocity load pushes the shot downrange quickly, giving you the speed advantage in fast-paced upland scenarios where birds don't wait for a second chance.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you get enough ammunition for a solid day of hunting without breaking rhythm at the reloader's bench. #6 shot is the classic choice for most upland birds across the country, balancing pellet count with the penetration needed to anchor game cleanly. If you're stocking up for the season or refreshing your ammo can, Federal Premium Upland Wing-Shok High Velocity delivers the consistency and performance that serious upland hunters expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What upland game birds is this load best suited for?

Federal Premium Upland Wing-Shok High Velocity with #6 shot is ideal for quail, grouse, and rooster pheasant—the classic upland targets across most of the country. The shot size provides the pellet count needed for clean patterns on small-to-medium upland birds.

What does high velocity mean for upland hunting?

The 1500 fps muzzle velocity means the shot reaches your target faster and carries its energy farther downrange, which helps you connect on quick-flushing birds and extends your effective range in open country.

Will these shells work in my 12 gauge shotgun?

These are 3-inch 12 gauge shells, so they'll load in any 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 3-inch ammunition. If your gun is chambered for 2-3/4 inch shells only, do not use these.

How many shells do I need for a day of upland hunting?

That depends on your hunting style and bird density, but one box of 25 rounds is a reasonable quantity for a half-day hunt or as a backup supply. Most hunters carry one or two boxes for a full day afield.
