Federal Premium Hi-Bird 12GA 2.75" 1-1/4oz #7.5 Shot Shells

The Federal Premium Hi-Bird HVF12H75 delivers consistent performance for upland game hunters targeting small birds and clay sports shooters demanding reliable patterns. This 12-gauge ammunition combines Federal's precision manufacturing with optimized shot size distribution for effective range and knockdown power on fast-moving targets.

What Makes This Different

Federal's Hi-Bird line utilizes premium components including high-antimony lead shot that resists deformation during barrel travel, maintaining pellet roundness for tighter patterns. The 1-1/4 ounce payload generates 1330 fps muzzle velocity, delivering 25% more energy than standard field loads. Advanced wad design reduces shot deformation while providing consistent gas seal and shot protection through the forcing cone.

Key Features

• High-antimony lead shot maintains pellet integrity for consistent patterns
• 1-1/4 ounce payload with approximately 394 pellets per shell
• 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12-gauge shotguns including 2.75" chambers
• Brass-plated steel head construction prevents extraction issues
• Premium powder formulation ensures consistent velocities
• Factory-crimped shells maintain proper chamber pressure
• 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)

Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 40 yards on dove, quail, and woodcock-sized game. The #7.5 shot size provides optimal pellet count while maintaining sufficient energy for clean kills on small upland species. Clay target shooters appreciate the consistent break performance on standard and midi targets. The ammunition functions reliably in semi-automatic, over/under, and side-by-side shotguns across temperature ranges from 0°F to 120°F.
