Federal Premium Upland Paper shotshells bring back the classic look and feel of vintage upland loads while delivering modern ballistic performance. Built with a traditional waxed-paper hull, these 12-gauge rounds are loaded with extra-hard copper-plated lead shot and a purpose-designed wad column that works in harmony with the classic components to deliver consistent patterns where it counts. If you're a purist who appreciates the heritage of upland hunting but won't compromise on reliability, these shells bridge the gap between nostalgia and performance.
The 2¾-inch, 1¼-ounce load with #4 shot is purpose-built for upland game—pheasants, grouse, quail, and similar small game that demands clean, decisive patterns. At 1330 feet per second, the payload of approximately 169 pellets generates the density and energy needed for confident takes at typical upland distances. Federal's attention to propellant and primer selection ensures consistent ignition and reliable performance, so you can focus on the hunt rather than worrying about your ammunition.
Packaged as a 25-round box, Federal Upland Paper delivers that satisfying retro vibe—from the paper hull to the way they handle in the field—without asking you to sacrifice the precision and consistency modern hunters expect. Whether you're working a traditional double gun or just appreciate the authentic feel of shooting the way upland hunters did decades ago, these shells offer genuine character alongside genuine performance.
