Fiocchi High Velocity Ammunition 28 Gauge 3" 1 oz #6 Chilled Lead Shot Box of 25

The Fiocchi High Velocity 28 Gauge 3" shotshell is built for shooters who know that gauge doesn't dictate performance—engineering does. This 1 oz #6 lead shot load delivers the velocity and pattern density you need for upland birds and clay targets, all in 28 gauge's lighter recoil package. Fiocchi has been making ammunition since 1876, and it shows in every round: consistent primers, quality hulls, and shot that patterns true. If you're running a 28 gauge and want ammo that actually keeps up with the gun, this is the stuff to stock.

Twenty-five rounds per box means you get a solid practice or hunting session without breaking a case. The #6 shot size is the sweet spot for quail, pheasant, and target work—large enough for clean kills at reasonable distance, small enough to pack plenty of pellets downrange. High velocity means flatter trajectories and denser patterns than standard loads, which translates to more reliable hits when it counts.

28 gauge has a devoted following for good reason: it kicks less than 20 gauge but delivers results that don't feel like a compromise. Fiocchi's reputation in the field and on the line backs that up. Whether you're working upland covers or breaking clays, having dependable ammo you trust matters. This is it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these 3" shells work in my 28 gauge?

Check your shotgun's barrel markings—it must be stamped for 3" shells. Some 28 gauges are 2.75" only. Loading an oversized shell into a gun not rated for it creates a dangerous pressure condition. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer or a gunsmith.

What's the difference between #6 shot and smaller or larger sizes?

#6 shot balances penetration and pattern density for upland game and clay targets. Larger shot (like #4 or #5) penetrates deeper but carries fewer pellets per load; smaller shot (#7.5 or #8) gives denser patterns but less range and energy. For 28 gauge, #6 is a proven all-rounder.

How many boxes should I order for a hunting trip?

That depends on how much you'll shoot. One box of 25 gives you roughly two hours of light hunting or a quick practice session. Order based on your expected shooting volume—each box is 25 rounds.

Are these high velocity loads significantly hotter than standard 28 gauge ammo?

Yes, high velocity loads deliver increased muzzle velocity compared to standard offerings, which improves range and pattern performance. They still fit standard 28 gauge chambers, but always verify your gun's rating and shoot a small amount first to confirm reliable function.
