The Federal H1634 Game-Shok delivers consistent upland bird performance with high brass construction and precisely sized 4 shot. This 16-gauge load combines proven Federal quality with the stopping power needed for pheasant, grouse, and similar-sized game birds.
What Makes This Different
Federal's Game-Shok line emphasizes reliability over premium features, making it an economical choice for high-volume hunting. The high brass case provides increased powder capacity compared to low brass alternatives, generating higher velocities for extended range effectiveness. Quality control standards ensure consistent shot patterns and reliable ignition across varying weather conditions.
Key Features
- High brass 2.75-inch case for maximum powder capacity and velocity
- 1 1/8 ounce shot charge delivers dense patterns at hunting ranges
- Size 4 shot optimized for medium upland birds and small waterfowl
- Federal primer system ensures reliable ignition in cold conditions
- Brass-plated steel head construction for consistent extraction
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
- Compatible with all 16-gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75-inch shells
Field performance centers on the 4 shot size, which strikes an optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy. This combination proves effective on birds weighing 1-3 pounds at ranges extending to 40 yards. The high brass case generates approximately 100-150 fps higher velocities than comparable low brass loads, translating to flatter trajectories and improved downrange energy retention.
