Federal Premium's Hi-Bird 12 Gauge shotshells combine speed, hard-hitting pellets, and a specialized wad to effectively take down high-flying doves, crows, pigeons, pheasants, and challenging upland birds. The Hi-Bird load features a two-piece wad with SoftCell technology, which reduces perceived recoil and produces more consistent long-range patterns. The lead shot is engineered for an optimal blend of hardness and density, resulting in even patterns and increased downrange energy. This versatile ammunition is suitable for both field hunting and competition shooting.
