The Remington Game Load 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1oz #6 Shot is a versatile, affordable upland and small game shotgun round built for hunters who need reliable, proven ammunition without premium pricing. With a 1-ounce payload of #6 lead shot moving at 1290 fps, this load strikes the balance between pattern density and shot energy—effective on quail, dove, grouse, and other upland birds, as well as farm predators where appropriate. If you're running field drills or stocking up for a season of bird hunting, Game Load delivers consistent velocity and predictable performance from box to box.
Remington's Game Load line has earned a reputation for no-frills dependability. The 2-3/4" hull is the standard for millions of 12-gauge guns in circulation, so compatibility is rarely a concern. At 1290 fps, the #6 shot size provides sufficient striking energy for clean, ethical kills on birds within typical hunting ranges while maintaining a denser pattern than larger shot sizes—useful for fast-moving targets or hunters who don't always have picture-perfect setups. This is working ammunition: it shoots where it should, patterns predictably, and won't drain your wallet during the off-season or when you're burning rounds for practice.
Each box contains 25 rounds, making it easy to stock a few boxes in your truck bed or reload your hunting vest. Whether you're new to shotgun hunting or a seasoned upland enthusiast looking for a no-nonsense, budget-conscious choice, Game Load remains one of the most widely available and proven small-game loads on shelves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Remington Game Load 12 Gauge #6 Shot work in my shotgun?
Yes, provided your shotgun is chambered for 12-gauge and rated for 2-3/4" shells. This is the standard hull length for the vast majority of 12-gauge firearms, including pumps, semi-autos, and break-actions manufactured in the last several decades. Always verify your gun's chamber specs in the owner's manual if unsure.
What kind of hunting is #6 shot best suited for?
Remington Game Load with #6 shot is designed for upland bird hunting—quail, dove, grouse, and similar game—as well as small predators on farms or property management situations. The shot size provides a denser pattern than larger sizes like #4 or #2, making it effective on faster, smaller targets within typical upland hunting ranges.
How many boxes are in a case?
Each case contains 10 boxes of 25 rounds, for a total of 250 rounds per case.
Is this ammo suitable for clay target shooting or hunting?
Game Load is designed and marketed as a hunting round. For clay shooting, skeet, or trap, you may prefer ammunition specifically formulated for those disciplines; consult your club rules or coach for guidance.
