Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the Federal Upland Field & Range Paper Wad ammunition suitable for upland hunting?

A: The Federal Upland Field & Range Paper Wad ammunition is ideal for upland hunting due to its 1330 fps velocity, which provides excellent performance for fast-flying upland birds. The 1 oz payload of #7.5 steel shot offers a dense pattern for effective hits on smaller game birds. The paper wad is biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly choice for field use.

Q: Can this ammunition be used for target shooting as well?

A: Yes, this ammunition is versatile and can be used for both upland hunting and target shooting. The 'Field & Range' designation in its name indicates its suitability for both purposes. The #7.5 shot size is popular for clay target shooting, making it a good choice for practice or competition.

Q: Is this ammunition safe to use in all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: This ammunition is safe to use in most modern 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2 3/4" shells. However, it's always important to check your shotgun's specifications and ensure it's rated for steel shot. Some older shotguns or those with tighter chokes may not be suitable for steel shot ammunition.

Q: How does the paper wad in this ammunition differ from plastic wads?

A: The paper wad used in this ammunition is biodegradable, unlike plastic wads. This makes it more environmentally friendly, especially for hunting in areas where leaving plastic in the field is a concern. Paper wads also tend to separate from the shot column more quickly after leaving the barrel, which can result in different pattern characteristics compared to plastic wads.

Q: What is the shot capacity and case quantity for this ammunition?

A: Each box of Federal Upland Field & Range Paper Wad ammunition contains 25 rounds. The case quantity is 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds per case.
