Fed Upland 28ga #8 Shotshell 25/250

Specifications

The Fed Upland 28ga #8 Shotshell 25/250 is a versatile hunting cartridge designed for upland game birds such as pheasants, quail, and grouse. It combines a 28-gauge shell with a #8 shot, providing a balance between shot density and velocity to ensure effective hunting performance.

Features

The 28-gauge shell offers several advantages over larger gauges, including reduced recoil, easier maneuverability, and the ability to use lighter shot loads while maintaining effective hunting performance. The #8 shot size is ideal for upland game birds, offering a good balance between shot density and penetration. The 25/250 load refers to the amount of powder (25 grains) and the shot charge (250 pellets) used in the shell.

Performance

The 28-gauge shell's reduced weight and lower recoil make it an excellent choice for those who prefer lighter shotguns. The #8 shot provides a dense pattern and can be used at close to medium ranges, making it suitable for upland game bird hunting. The 25/250 load ensures a consistent and reliable performance in the field, with a bullet velocity of approximately 1,350 feet per second.
