Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the Federal Upland Pheasants Forever High Velocity 12 Gauge ammunition ideal for upland hunting?

The 1 1/4 oz payload of #4 copper-plated lead shot offers excellent pattern density and penetration, making it highly effective for pheasants and other upland game birds. The copper plating reduces feather draw and ensures tighter patterns for improved accuracy.

Q: How does this ammunition support conservation efforts?

A: A portion of the proceeds from every box of Federal Upland Pheasants Forever High Velocity ammunition sold goes to support Pheasants Forever's mission to preserve and enhance pheasant hunting habitat. By purchasing this product, hunters are directly contributing to conservation efforts for upland game birds.

Q: What are the key specifications of this ammunition?

A: The Federal Upland Pheasants Forever High Velocity 12 Gauge ammunition features 2 3/4" shells, 1 1/4 oz of #4 copper-plated lead shot, and a muzzle velocity of 1500 fps. Each box contains 25 rounds, and the shells have brass-plated heads for reliable performance.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: This ammunition is suitable for most modern 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2 3/4" shells. However, it's always recommended to consult your shotgun's manual to ensure compatibility, especially with high-velocity loads. Some older or lighter shotguns may not be suitable for these high-performance shells.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to standard loads?

A: Due to its high velocity (1500 fps) and heavy payload (1 1/4 oz), this ammunition may produce more recoil than standard loads.

Shooters should be prepared for potentially significant felt recoil, especially during extended hunting sessions.
