Federal Ammunition's Upland Paper shotshells deliver classic aesthetics with modern reliability for upland bird hunting. Built with a waxed-paper hull that evokes the look, feel, and even the scent of vintage shotgun ammunition, these 12-gauge 2.75-inch shells don't sacrifice performance for nostalgia. You get the traditional appearance alongside dependable ballistics, making them a genuine choice for hunters who value heritage without wanting to compromise on the range.
These shells are loaded with extra-hard copper-plated lead shot—281 pellets of #6 shot in the 1.25 oz payload—designed to deliver consistent patterns on pheasant, grouse, quail, and other upland game at typical hunting distances. The wad column is engineered specifically to work with the classic hull construction and shot type, optimizing the velocity and pattern characteristics you need when the birds are flushing. Federal's proven primer and propellant system ensure reliable ignition across temperature ranges and hunting conditions.
If you're a traditionalist who hunts upland birds and appreciates the authenticity of paper hulls, or simply want ammunition that performs as well as it looks in the gun, Federal Upland Paper splits the difference between nostalgia and function. Each box contains 25 shells (5 sleeves of 5), making them practical for a morning in the field or a session at the range.
