The Federal Ammunition Game-Shok High Brass 12 Gauge 2-3/4-inch #5 Shot Shotshells pairs a 12 Gauge hull with a 1-1/4 oz #5 payload for upland hunters who want a dependable load in the vest (brand part no. H1265). Federal Ammunition builds this Game-Shok High Brass shell to pattern consistently, round after round, without the flyers that ruin a clean shot. It is sized for upland bird hunts, where a shell that shoots the way the last box shot matters more than any spec sheet. Whether it is the first box of the season or the last one before the freezer is full, this load is built to be the one you do not have to think about. Find it filed with our shotgun shells lineup, stocked for the shooters who buy by the case.

Key Specifications

• Chambering runs 12 Gauge, the standard for shells built around upland bird hunts.
• At 2-3/4-inch, the hull matches standard 12 Gauge chambers without over-stuffing the action.
• It carries 1-1/4 oz of payload, balancing pattern density against felt recoil over a long day.
• Pellets are #5, chosen for the ranges typical of upland bird hunts.
• It is loaded with soft lead shot, the traditional choice for upland and target work alike.
• Boxes come 25 rounds deep, sized for a range session or a day afield without restocking.
• It ships by the case in lots of 10 boxes, the way upland hunters who shoot a lot of clays or hunt a full season restock.
• A box ships at roughly 2.75 lb, light enough to order several boxes without a heavy shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rounds are in a box? 25 rounds per box.

Is this shot steel or lead? Lead. It is not approved for waterfowl hunting under federal non-toxic shot rules, but it is a strong choice for upland bird hunts.

What 12 Gauge chamber length does this need? A chamber rated for at least 2-3/4-inch; a longer chamber safely fires a shorter shell, but a shorter chamber should never fire a longer one.
