Federal Game-Shok H2028 20GA 2.75" 1oz #8 Shot Shells 25/Box

The Federal Game-Shok H2028 delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunters seeking affordable, effective 20-gauge ammunition. This field-proven load combines Federal's quality components with practical specifications that handle everything from quail to pheasant.

What Makes This Different

Federal's Game-Shok line prioritizes consistent shot patterns over premium pricing, making it ideal for high-volume shooting situations. The 1oz payload delivers sufficient energy for medium-sized game birds while maintaining manageable recoil in lighter 20-gauge shotguns. Unlike budget alternatives that sacrifice pattern consistency, these shells use Federal's proven powder charges and reliable primer systems.

Key Features

• 1oz lead shot payload provides effective knockdown power on upland birds
• #8 shot size offers optimal pellet count for quail, dove, and woodcock
• 2.75-inch hull fits all standard 20-gauge chambers
• Brass-plated steel head ensures reliable extraction
• Federal's quality control standards maintain lot-to-lot consistency
• 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
• Moderate velocity reduces barrel wear compared to high-velocity loads

Field performance centers on the #8 shot's ability to create dense patterns at typical upland hunting ranges of 20-35 yards. The 1oz payload generates sufficient energy transfer for clean kills on birds up to dove size, while the moderate velocity preserves meat quality. These shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns and provide consistent ignition in various weather conditions.
