The Federal USH286 Upland Field & Range 28 gauge shotshell is built for hunters and clay shooters who favor the lighter recoil and efficiency of a 28 gauge without sacrificing performance. Loaded with 5/8 oz of #6 shot at 1350 fps, these 2.75" shells deliver the pattern density and velocity needed for clean upland game and target work at practical hunting ranges. The 28 gauge has earned a devoted following among pheasant and quail hunters who appreciate tighter shot strings and reduced felt recoil, and Federal's Upland Field & Range line pairs that advantage with dependable ballistics and consistent performance.
Federal backs these shells with the kind of quality control you expect from a major manufacturer—clean-burning powders, consistent shot placement, and reliable ignition across the board. The #6 shot size is the go-to choice for upland birds at moderate distance, offering a good balance between pellet count and energy retention. Whether you're working a field early season or running clays on the weekend, the USH286 delivers the velocity and consistency to keep your shooting on point.
Stocked in convenient 25-round boxes, these shells are ready to load and go. If you shoot a 28 gauge regularly, Federal's Upland Field & Range ammo gives you a reliable, widely available option that won't break the bank or your shoulder.

28 gauge shotshells like the Federal USH286 are popular for upland bird hunting—pheasant, quail, grouse, and similar game—where moderate ranges and light recoil are advantages. The 28 gauge also works well for clay shooting and informal target work. Its smaller payload than 12 or 20 gauge means less recoil and less shot depletion, making it economical for frequent shooters.
#6 shot is a mid-size pellet choice that balances pellet count with individual pellet energy. It's well-suited for upland game birds at hunting ranges and is a standard choice for clay targets. Larger shot (like #4 or #5) carries more energy per pellet at distance; smaller shot (like #7.5 or #8) provides denser patterns at closer ranges.
These are standard 2.75" 28 gauge shells, which is the common length for 28 gauge shotguns. Check your shotgun's chamber marking—it will typically read 2.75" or 3". If your gun is marked 2.75", these shells will function. If it's marked 3", you'll need 3" shells.
The Federal USH286 comes in boxes of 25 rounds, offering convenient quantity for field work or range sessions.
