25 Rounds of 1 ounce #8 shot 12ga Ammo by Federal Game Load

If you’re a quail hunter, there are a few things to keep in mind to make your next outing more successful. First and foremost, remember that quail have good hearing. If they hear you coming they’ll move away, so be quiet. Also, move into the wind, which both lessens the chance they’ll hear you coming and also makes it easier for your dogs to pick up their scent. Finally, know the area you’re hunting in, and hunt in open fields. Quail enjoy the vegetation found in open fields, and you’re most likely to find them leaving the field within a couple hours of sunrise and returning late in the morning. Get to know their routines and you’ll have far greater success hunting them.

These rounds are made for your 12-gauge shotgun. Each shotshell is 2 ¾” long and filled with #8 buckshot. They’re 1 ounce loads capable of propelling pellets with the kind of force necessary to take down the game you’re after. Many hunters favor 1 ounce loads because they provide sufficient power without the greater recoil of larger loads. Each of these rounds leaves the barrel of your shotgun with a muzzle velocity of 1290 feet per second. This ammunition is produced by Federal specifically as a game load and is meant for game such as quail and woodcocks.

There are 25 rounds in this single box of ammunition. This ammunition is manufactured by Federal, a company that was founded in 1922 by Charles Horn, who took over a failing factory and refounded it as Federal. Horn got the company going by marketing its products in gas stations, barber shops, and grocery stores, and it didn’t take long for the company to take off. Soon they were being offered a substantial contract with the government to build and operate what is now known as the Twin City Ordnance Plant, and the rest is, as they say, ammunition history. Federal manufactures ammunition at their established factory in Anoka, Minnesota. Whether you’re hunting small birds such as quail and woodcock or looking to get some practice in before the season begins, get your order in, and get to shooting.
