Federal Hi-Bird shotshells combine speed, hard-hitting pellets, and a specialized wad to effectively take down high-flying doves, crows, pigeons, pheasants, and challenging upland birds. These 12 gauge shells feature a two-piece wad with SoftCell technology, reducing perceived recoil and producing more consistent long-range patterns. The lead shot is engineered for an optimal blend of hardness and density, resulting in dense patterns with increased downrange energy. Perfect for both field hunting and competition shooting, these shells deliver maximum long-range lethality for upland game and bird hunting.
