Federal Hi-Bird 12 Gauge Ammo 2 3/4" 1 1/4 oz 3 3/4 DRAM #4 Lead Shot - HVF12HW 4
Federal Hi-Bird 12 Gauge ammo combines a heavy 1 1/4 oz payload of #4 lead shot with a 2 3/4" shell and a listed muzzle velocity of 1330 fps for hunters looking for a hard-hitting upland field load. Built around Federal’s Hi-Bird lineup, this load gives 12 Gauge shooters a straightforward option for pursuing upland game where lead shot is permitted.
Why Hunters Choose Federal Hi-Bird 12 Gauge Ammo
- 1 1/4 oz Field Payload: Each shell carries a substantial 1 1/4 oz shot charge, giving hunters more lead on target than lighter 1 oz or 1 1/8 oz field loads.
- #4 Lead Shot: Federal loads this Hi-Bird shotshell with #4 lead shot, a larger field shot size suited to upland hunting where lead ammunition is permitted.
- 1330 fps Velocity: Federal lists this load at 1330 fps, giving hunters a clear performance figure when comparing 12 Gauge field ammunition.
- 2 3/4" Shell: The 2 3/4" shell length keeps the load in a familiar 12 Gauge configuration while carrying the full 1 1/4 oz payload.
- 3 3/4 Dram Equivalent: The listed dram equivalent provides another traditional reference point for shooters comparing field shotshell loads.
- Upland-Focused Hi-Bird Load: Federal positions Hi-Bird for upland hunting, giving this shotshell a clear field purpose rather than a target or defensive role.
- 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 load.
