Federal Hi-Bird 12 gauge 2.75" #8 shotgun shells deliver the speed and pattern consistency you need for upland birds, doves, crows, and pigeons. These field-proven loads combine proven pellet design with a two-piece wad engineered to manage recoil and keep your shot patterns tight downrange—crucial when you're working distance on game that doesn't forgive poor shot placement. Each box contains 25 rounds; a case holds 250, so you can stock up for the season or supply a hunting party without restocking mid-trip.
The lead shot in Hi-Bird loads is hardened to strike a balance between impact energy and pattern density. That engineering matters: soft pellets deform in flight and scatter patterns; brittle pellets fragment on impact and lose energy. Federal's formula is built to hold together and hit hard at the distances where upland hunting actually happens. The two-piece wad with SoftCell technology absorbs energy more evenly than traditional designs, which reduces felt recoil and helps you shoot more accurately through a long day in the field.
Whether you're hunting pheasants over dogs, working a dove field at first light, or competing in upland shoots, Hi-Bird shells are built for the job. They'll function reliably in standard 12-gauge shotguns and deliver the ballistics and pattern control that serious upland hunters have relied on for years.
| Gauge | 12 |
| Shell Length | 2.75" |
| Shot Size | #8 |
| Shot Weight | 1 1/8 oz |
| Rounds per Box | 25 |
| Rounds per Case | 250 |
| Wad Type | Two-piece with SoftCell technology |
These are standard 2.75" 12-gauge shells. They'll function in any 12-gauge shotgun designed to accept 2.75" ammunition. Check your owner's manual or barrel markings to confirm your shotgun's chamber length—some 12-gauges chamber 3" or 3.5" shells, which are different.
Federal Hi-Bird #8 shot is engineered for upland birds, doves, crows, pigeons, and pheasants. The #8 pellet size is a versatile choice across upland hunting and field sports where you need consistent patterns at moderate to longer distances.
The two-piece wad with SoftCell technology is designed to reduce felt recoil and produce more consistent shot patterns downrange. Less recoil means less muzzle climb between shots, which helps you stay on target through the day. More consistent patterns mean your aim translates more reliably to clean kills at distance.
A 250-round case (ten 25-round boxes) is the standard bulk purchase option for shooters who hunt or practice regularly. It offers convenient storage and resupply without constant trips to restock individual boxes.
