Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What are the key features of the Federal P2837.5 Premium Wing-Shok High Velocity 28 Gauge ammunition?

A: The Federal P2837.5 Premium Wing-Shok High Velocity 28 Gauge ammunition features copper-plated lead shot, brass-plated heads, and high-velocity loads. It's designed for 28 gauge shotguns with a 2-3/4" chamber, contains 3/4 oz of #7.5 shot, and has a muzzle velocity of 1295 fps. This ammunition is specifically engineered for upland hunting, providing tight and consistent patterns.

Q: What type of hunting is this ammunition best suited for?

A: This ammunition is best suited for upland hunting. The Wing-Shok High Velocity loads are specifically designed to provide deadly patterns for upland game birds. The #7.5 shot size is ideal for smaller upland birds like quail, grouse, and pheasants.

Q: Why does this ammunition use copper-plated lead shot?

A: Federal Premium uses copper-plated lead shot in this ammunition for several reasons. The copper plating helps maintain the spherical shape of the shot during firing, which results in tighter and more consistent patterns. It also reduces lead fouling in the barrel and provides better penetration on game.

Q: How many rounds are in a box of this ammunition?

A: Each box of Federal P2837.5 Premium Wing-Shok High Velocity 28 Gauge ammunition contains 25 rounds.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for clay target shooting?

A: While primarily designed for upland hunting, this ammunition can be used for clay target shooting. However, its high-velocity load and premium components may make it more expensive than typical target loads. For regular clay shooting, standard target loads might be more cost-effective.

Q: What is the significance of the 1295 fps muzzle velocity?

A: The 1295 fps (feet per second) muzzle velocity indicates that this is a high-velocity load. This higher speed provides flatter trajectories, potentially increasing effective range and delivering more energy to the target, which can be beneficial when hunting upland game.
