The Federal H41275 Game-Shok delivers consistent performance for small game hunting and clay sports in the compact .410 bore platform. This high brass load maximizes the potential of .410 gauge shotguns with optimized powder charges and shot patterns. Federal's quality control ensures reliable ignition and consistent velocities across temperature ranges.
What Makes This Different
High brass construction provides increased powder capacity compared to standard low brass .410 loads, generating higher velocities and improved downrange energy. The 1/2-ounce shot charge represents the optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for .410 applications. Federal's brass cases offer superior strength and reloadability compared to budget alternatives, while the #7.5 shot size delivers dense patterns ideal for small game and clay targets.
Key Features
- High brass case construction for maximum powder capacity and performance
- 1/2-ounce lead shot charge optimized for .410 bore ballistics
- #7.5 shot size provides 394 pellets per shell for dense patterns
- 2.5-inch shell length fits all .410 gauge shotguns
- Federal's quality primers ensure consistent ignition in all conditions
- 25 rounds per box packaging for convenient range sessions
- Reloadable brass cases extend ammunition value
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 25 yards on small game, with sufficient energy for clean kills on squirrels, rabbits, and upland birds. The load performs consistently in both break-action and semi-automatic .410 platforms. Weather-sealed primers and powder maintain reliability in humid conditions, while the high brass cases withstand repeated firing cycles without case head separation.
