The Federal Game-Shok H28975 delivers consistent upland performance in a 28 gauge platform that bridges the gap between lightweight handling and effective knockdown power. This high brass load pushes 1 ounce of #7.5 shot at velocities that maximize pattern density while maintaining manageable recoil for extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard low brass loads, the Game-Shok series utilizes high brass construction that generates higher chamber pressures for increased velocity and energy transfer. The 1 ounce payload provides 30% more shot count than typical 3/4 ounce 28 gauge loads, creating denser patterns at hunting distances. Federal's quality control processes ensure shot roundness and consistent powder charges that translate to predictable ballistic performance.
Key Features
- High brass construction generates higher velocities than standard loads
- 1 ounce shot payload delivers maximum pellet count for 28 gauge platform
- #7.5 shot size optimized for upland birds and small game hunting
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 28 gauge chambers
- Federal's precision loading ensures consistent shot patterns
- 25 rounds per box provides adequate supply for hunting trips
- Bulk case packaging (10 boxes) reduces per-round cost
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 35 yards on upland game birds, with the #7.5 shot providing sufficient energy for clean kills on quail, dove, and woodcock. The high brass construction maintains consistent velocities across temperature ranges, making this load reliable for early season dove hunting and late season upland pursuits. Recoil remains manageable in lightweight 28 gauge firearms while delivering terminal performance that exceeds expectations for the bore diameter.
