Federal Premium Hi-Bird ammunition in 12 gauge (part no. HVF12H75) loads a full 1-1/4-ounce charge of #7.5 shot in a 2.75-inch hull, built by Federal Ammunition specifically for birds that flush high and fast. The Hi-Bird name reflects the line’s purpose: enough pellet energy and pattern density to reach birds working well above typical upland range, rather than a general-purpose field load. The #7.5 shot size delivers the classic all-around load for clays, dove, and upland birds. For hunters working fields or flyways where birds are already up and moving by the time they flush, this shotgun shells is built with exactly that shot in mind.
