The Federal H16075 Game-Shok delivers consistent upland bird performance with precisely engineered 16-gauge shells that balance power and pattern density. This ammunition features a full 1-ounce payload of #7.5 shot in a standard 2.75-inch hull, providing hunters with reliable knockdown power for quail, dove, and other upland species. Federal's Game-Shok line represents proven field performance at an accessible price point.
What Makes This Different
Federal Game-Shok ammunition utilizes high-quality components including reliable primers and consistent powder charges to deliver uniform velocities shot after shot. The 1-ounce shot charge provides 20% more pellets than typical 7/8-ounce loads, resulting in denser patterns and improved hit probability on fast-moving targets. Quality brass-plated steel heads ensure reliable extraction and feeding in semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns.
