Fiocchi High Velocity Ammunition 16 ga 2-3/4" 1-1/8 oz #5 Chilled Lead Shot Box of 25

Fiocchi High Velocity 16 gauge shotshells deliver reliable, affordable performance for hunters who want dependable ammunition without premium pricing. These 2-3/4" shells load 1-1/8 oz of chilled lead shot in #5 size, making them a solid choice for upland bird hunting and field work where you need consistent patterns and velocity. Built with quality components—high brass hulls, specialty powders, and reliable primers—Fiocchi's High Velocity line has earned trust across North America for delivering results when it counts.

If you shoot 16 gauge, you know ammunition options are slimmer than for 12 or 20, which makes finding quality factory loads at fair value harder. Fiocchi has filled that gap for decades, and this load sits squarely in the sweet spot: enough payload and speed to handle typical upland game, modest recoil that won't wear you out over a full day, and the chilled shot construction that holds its pattern better than soft lead alternatives.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you're buying in practical hunting quantities. Whether you're stocking up for the season or testing this load before committing to a full case, this is the kind of no-nonsense ammunition that works—nothing fancy, just proven performance at a hunter's budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotguns can I use these shells in?

These are 16 gauge, 2-3/4" shells, so they will chamber in any 16 gauge shotgun rated for 2-3/4" ammunition. Always check your firearm's markings before loading to confirm gauge and chamber length compatibility.

What game are #5 shot shells best for?

Fiocchi #5 chilled lead shot is well-suited for upland birds like pheasant, quail, grouse, and woodcock—the classic 16 gauge hunting scenario. The shot size and velocity provide a good balance of pattern density and energy for typical hunting ranges.

Why choose chilled lead shot over soft lead?

Chilled shot is harder than soft lead, which means it retains its shape better during acceleration and flight, resulting in tighter, more consistent patterns downrange. This translates to cleaner kills and better performance on game.

How many shells come in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, offering a practical hunting quantity for a day afield or for testing the load before purchasing larger quantities.
