Federal Upland Field & Range 28 Gauge 2.75-inch #7.5 steel shot shells (Federal part no. USH2875) give sub-gauge hunters a nontoxic option for areas that require lead-free shot. Federal Ammunition‘s Upland Steel line is built to deliver the patterns and power hunters need for hard-to-hit birds, even from a light-payload sub-gauge shell. The load stays consistent and reliable, with a high velocity that makes the most of the lighter steel payload the 28 gauge hull can carry. This is a solid choice for doves and other light upland game in areas requiring non-lead shot.
