Federal Premium Wing-Shok Magnum 12 Gauge 3-Inch #5 Shot, 25-Round Box

Federal Premium Wing-Shok Magnum 12 gauge 3-inch ammunition (brand part no. P1295) loads a heavy 1 5/8-ounce payload of #5 copper-plated lead shot for upland hunters who want extra range and knockdown power in the fall woods. Federal builds Wing-Shok around premium components, starting with primers inspected for consistent ignition and clean-burning propellants that meet the company’s own strict specifications. The shot itself is buffered inside the hull, a technique that keeps patterns tighter, reduces feather draw on tough late-season birds, and drives deeper penetration than an unbuffered load. For pheasant, grouse, and other upland game that demand a magnum-class payload from a standard 12 gauge, this is a proven premium option.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12, the most versatile shotgun bore for upland and field hunting applications.
• The shell length is 3 inches, a magnum hull that holds a heavier payload than a standard 2 3/4-inch shell.
• The payload weighs 1 5/8 ounces, delivering a heavier shot charge than a standard field load.
• The shot size is #5, balancing pellet count and knockdown energy for larger upland birds.
• The shot is copper-plated lead, a plating that reduces pellet deformation for denser, more consistent patterns.
• The shot is buffered inside the hull, which tightens patterns, cuts feather draw, and boosts penetration on tough birds.
• Each round costs about $1.58, priced for a premium magnum upland load.
• Each box holds 25 rounds, enough for a full weekend of upland hunting.
• Ten boxes make up a full case of 250 rounds, a practical stock-up quantity for a hunting season.
