Federal Game-Shok H1216 12 Gauge 2.75" 1oz #6 Shot Upland Shells

The Federal Game-Shok H1216 delivers consistent upland bird performance with precisely balanced 1oz loads of #6 shot in reliable 2.75" hulls. This ammunition combines Federal's proven components with optimized powder charges for clean-burning performance across a wide range of hunting conditions.

What Makes This Different

Game-Shok ammunition features Federal's high-antimony lead shot that maintains pellet roundness for improved patterns and penetration. The one-piece wad system provides consistent shot separation and reduced barrel fouling compared to traditional multi-piece wads. Federal's brass-plated steel heads resist corrosion and extraction issues that can plague budget ammunition during extended hunting seasons.

The #6 shot size provides excellent stopping power on pheasants, grouse, and quail while maintaining sufficient pellet count for reliable hits on fast-moving targets.
