The Fiocchi 283HV5 Field Dynamics delivers consistent high-velocity performance for upland game hunters demanding reliable results in challenging conditions. This 28-gauge load combines Italian manufacturing precision with optimized powder charges to maximize effective range while maintaining manageable recoil.
What Makes This Different
Fiocchi's Field Dynamics line utilizes temperature-stable propellants that maintain velocity consistency across seasonal temperature variations. The 1-ounce payload generates approximately 1,300 fps muzzle velocity, delivering 15% more downrange energy than standard 28-gauge loads. Premium shot buffering reduces pellet deformation during barrel transit, resulting in tighter patterns and improved penetration on medium-sized game birds.
Key Features
- High-velocity 1,300 fps muzzle velocity for extended effective range
- 1-ounce #5 shot payload optimized for pheasant, grouse, and dove hunting
- 3-inch magnum shell length maximizes powder capacity in 28-gauge platform
- Temperature-stable propellant maintains consistent performance from 0°F to 100°F
- Shot buffering compound reduces pellet deformation for tighter patterns
- Low-brass construction reduces felt recoil compared to high-brass alternatives
- Italian manufacturing ensures consistent quality control and reliability
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 40 yards with modified choke tubes, making this load suitable for late-season upland birds that flush at extended distances. The #5 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for clean, ethical harvests on medium game. Consistent ignition and complete powder burn minimize residue buildup in semi-automatic shotguns during extended hunting sessions.
