The Federal SH1298 Shorty delivers full-power 12-gauge performance in a compact 1.75-inch shell designed for firearms with shorter chambers and faster cycling. These mini shells pack 15/16 ounce of #8 shot into a reduced-length case that increases magazine capacity while maintaining effective stopping power at close range.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 2.75-inch shells, the 1.75-inch length allows compatible shotguns to hold significantly more rounds in the same magazine tube. The reduced case length doesn't compromise power delivery, as the 15/16-ounce payload generates sufficient energy for home defense and training applications. Federal's consistent powder charge ensures reliable cycling in pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns designed for mini shells.Key Features
