The Federal P2838 Premium Wing-Shok delivers exceptional downrange performance for upland bird hunters demanding reliable knockdown power in a 28-gauge platform. This high-velocity load combines Federal's premium components with optimized shot patterns for consistent harvests on quail, dove, and woodcock.

What Makes This Different

Federal's Wing-Shok technology utilizes copper-plated shot and a specialized wad system that maintains tighter patterns at extended ranges compared to standard field loads. The high-velocity design generates 25% more energy than comparable target loads while reducing felt recoil through advanced powder formulation. Premium brass cases ensure reliable extraction and consistent ignition across temperature extremes.
