The Federal Premium Wing-Shok PF1636 delivers consistent knockdown power for upland bird hunting with precision-engineered high velocity loads. This 16-gauge ammunition combines Federal's proven copper-plated shot technology with optimized powder charges for maximum effectiveness on pheasants and similar game birds. Each shell produces reliable patterns at extended ranges while maintaining the stopping power hunters demand.
What Makes This Different
Federal's copper-plated shot technology sets these loads apart from standard lead shot ammunition. The copper plating reduces pellet deformation during barrel travel, resulting in tighter patterns and improved penetration. High velocity propellant pushes the 1-1/8 ounce payload at speeds that deliver 15-20% more energy than standard velocity loads, extending effective range significantly.
Key Features
- Copper-plated #6 shot reduces deformation for consistent patterns
- High velocity loading generates maximum energy transfer
- 1-1/8 ounce shot charge optimized for 16-gauge performance
- 2.75-inch hull fits all standard 16-gauge shotguns
- 25 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Federal Premium quality control ensures consistent performance
- Pheasant Forever partnership supports habitat conservation
Field performance testing shows these loads maintain effective patterns out to 40+ yards on medium-sized upland birds. The #6 shot size provides optimal pellet count and energy retention for pheasants, grouse, and similar game. Weather-sealed primers and cases resist moisture during extended hunts, while the high-antimony shot retains pellet integrity through choke tubes.
