Each shell contains 1-1/4 ounces of #4 shot in a 2.75-inch hull, providing effective range and stopping power for medium-sized game birds.

What Makes This Different

Game-Shok Heavy Field ammunition features higher shot weights than standard field loads, delivering increased downrange energy and improved pattern density. The #4 shot size offers versatility for both upland birds and smaller waterfowl, creating effective wound channels while maintaining sufficient pellet count for consistent hits. Federal's quality brass heads and reliable primers ensure consistent ignition in temperature extremes, while the one-piece wad design promotes uniform shot patterns.
