250 Rounds of #4 shot 12ga Ammo by Federal

If you’re new to upland bird hunting, pheasants are a good place to start for a few reasons. These tips apply to pheasants but also to many others birds as well, so read on, then buy some ammo. When you head out, be quiet. Don’t slam doors or talk loudly; loud noises can scare birds off. Stick to quiet conversations and even use hand signals when possible. Also, be patient. Moving through an area too quickly gives birds the ability to simply move behind you and wait you out – yes, they really can be that clever. Move through cover using a zig-zag pattern and stop occasionally. Some birds will panic and take to the sky, giving you a chance for a nice shot. And, of course, be safe – and have fun. Upland bird hunting is enjoyable and rewarding, and you’ll be glad you gave it a shot.

Now for the ammunition you’re going to need. The 12 gauge shotgun is popular for bird hunters, and these 12 gauge shells have 1 ¼ ounce loads, which is a substantial load that will propel the shot inside the shell with significant force. With a 1 ¼ ounce load you don’t need to wonder whether or not your round has enough power behind it for penetration; it does. These rounds are full of #4 lead shot and have a muzzle velocity of 1220 feet per second. These are Federal’s Game Shok rounds and are specifically designed for upland bird hunting. Of course, you can also use them for target shooting, and putting it time breaking clays is a good way to get realistic training in, too.
