The Fiocchi 16HV6 Field Dynamics delivers exceptional downrange performance for upland game hunters demanding reliable knockdown power. These high-velocity 16-gauge shells generate consistent patterns with increased striking energy compared to standard field loads. Fiocchi's precision manufacturing ensures uniform shot distribution and reliable ignition across temperature extremes.
What Makes This Different
Fiocchi's high-velocity formula pushes 1-1/8 ounces of #6 shot at speeds exceeding standard field loads by 100+ fps. The advanced propellant chemistry maintains consistent velocities while reducing felt recoil compared to heavier 12-gauge alternatives. Italian engineering and quality control standards result in tighter manufacturing tolerances than many domestic competitors. Each hull undergoes multi-stage inspection before final assembly.
Key Features
- High-velocity loading delivers increased downrange energy for clean kills
- 1-1/8 ounce shot charge provides optimal pellet count for medium game
- #6 shot size balances penetration and pattern density for versatile hunting
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 16-gauge chambers
- Precision-drawn brass heads ensure reliable extraction
- Low-flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent performance -20°F to 120°F
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 40 yards on quail, dove, and grouse. The balanced shot charge produces dense core patterns while maintaining adequate fringe density for crossing shots. Hunters report clean kills with minimal pellet deformation, indicating proper hardness specifications. These shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic, over/under, and side-by-side 16-gauge firearms. Consistent primer ignition eliminates hangfires during rapid follow-up shots.
