Why Hunters Choose Federal 16 Gauge Ammo

- 3 1/4 Dram Equivalent: The listed dram equivalent gives shooters another traditional reference point when comparing field shotshell loads.
- Upland Hi-Brass Load: Federal identifies this ammunition as part of its upland hi-brass Game Load family, keeping the focus on hunting rather than target-specific use.
- 25 or 250-Round Packaging: Available in 25-round boxes and 250-round cases, hunters can choose a standard box or a larger supply of the same field load.

About Federal Game Load 16 Gauge Ammo
Federal Game Load 16 Gauge ammo is built around a traditional upland configuration, combining a 2 3/4" shell with a 1 1/8 oz payload of #4 lead shot. Federal lists the load at 1295 fps with a 3 1/4 dram equivalent and positions it as a hi-brass field option for upland hunting.
