Fed Hi-bird 12ga 2.75" #5 25/250

Federal Hi-Bird 12 gauge 2.75" #5 shot is a field-proven load built for hunters chasing fast-moving upland game and waterfowl that demand consistent, hard-hitting performance at distance. The #5 shot size makes this round a solid choice for pheasants, doves, crows, and pigeons—birds that test your shooting and your ammunition. With a 1⅛ oz shot charge moving at 1330 fps, Hi-Bird delivers the energy needed to drop birds cleanly when you connect.

What sets Hi-Bird apart is the engineering behind the pattern. Federal pairs a two-piece wad design with SoftCell technology to tame recoil while maintaining the tight, consistent long-range patterns upland and waterfowl hunters demand. The lead shot itself is hardened and densified for an optimal balance—hard enough to hold its shape through the barrel and air, dense enough to retain energy downrange. The result is denser patterns and more retained velocity when it matters most, whether you're working a harvested field or competing in the clay games.

Hi-Bird works equally well for field hunting and competition, and at 1⅛ oz of shot in a standard 2.75" hull, it's loaded to deliver without excess pressure or unnecessary felt recoil. Whether you're loading your vest for a day after roosters or stocking your reloading bench for league shoots, Hi-Bird is ammunition that does the job without fanfare.
