Federal N1328 Game-Shok 32 Gauge 2.5" 1/2oz #8 Shot Shells

The Federal N1328 Game-Shok Heavy Field delivers consistent performance for upland bird hunting in the specialized 32 gauge platform. This ammunition combines Federal's proven powder technology with precision-loaded shot charges to maximize pattern density and knockdown power. Hunters seeking reliable performance from their 32 gauge shotguns will find the balanced load characteristics ideal for small game applications.

What Makes This Different

Federal's Game-Shok Heavy Field line utilizes specially formulated powder charges that produce consistent velocities across temperature ranges. The 1/2 ounce shot charge delivers optimal pellet count for 32 gauge applications while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Standard field loads often sacrifice either pattern density or velocity, but this ammunition balances both factors for improved terminal performance on game birds.

Key Features

• 1/2 ounce #8 shot charge optimized for small game hunting
• 2.5-inch shell length provides standard chamber compatibility
• Federal's proven powder formula ensures consistent velocities
• High-quality shot produces uniform patterns at hunting ranges
• Reliable primer ignition in various weather conditions
• Brass-plated steel head construction for extraction reliability
• 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)

Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 35 yards on quail, dove, and similar-sized game birds. The #8 shot size provides sufficient pellet energy for clean kills while maintaining dense pattern coverage. Hunters report consistent cycling in both semi-automatic and break-action 32 gauge shotguns. The moderate recoil characteristics make this load suitable for extended shooting sessions during upland bird seasons.
