Patterning your shotgun with a new load is the best way to know how it performs. Shoot a few rounds at a large sheet of paper at 25 to 35 yards with the choke you plan to hunt with, and check that the densest part of the pattern lines up with your point of aim. Trying a tighter or more open choke can make a real difference on fast, close birds.
Store shotshells in a cool, dry place in their original box, and keep loads with different shot sizes separated so you always grab the right shell in the field. Buying enough from the same lot for the whole season keeps velocity and pattern consistent from one hunt to the next, so your practice carries over to the field.
Bobwhite quail hunting is a Southern tradition, and the birds are known for exploding from cover in tight coveys that scatter in every direction. Shots are usually close and fast, so upland hunters favor light, quick-handling shotguns and loads with small shot sizes that put a dense pattern on small, fast-moving birds.
The 28 gauge has a devoted following among upland hunters because the guns built for it are light, slim and quick to point, and the small payload produces surprisingly effective patterns at typical upland ranges. Many experienced bird hunters consider a well-balanced 28 gauge the ideal companion for long days walking behind pointing dogs.

Why Choose Federal 28 Gauge Shotshells
Bird hunters who carry a light 28 gauge want 28 ga quail loads that make the most of every pellet. This Federal Quail Forever shell carries 3/4 ounce of copper-plated #8 shot at 1295 fps for clean kills on quail and other small upland birds.
These 28 ga upland loads use plated shot that stays round in the barrel, producing tighter patterns than soft lead. The #8 size gives dense coverage for fast, close-flushing coveys, and the mild recoil keeps you comfortable through long days afield.
Federal Premium has made ammunition in Anoka, Minnesota since 1922, and its Upland Quail Forever loads were developed in partnership with the conservation group Quail Forever. Many bird hunters choose federal 28 ga ammo from this line for its plated shot, reliable ignition and support for upland habitat.
These shotshells are a good fit for quail, woodcock and dove hunters using 28 gauge side-by-side, over-under and semi-automatic shotguns. Always confirm your shotgun is chambered for 2-3/4 in 28 Gauge shells, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local hunting laws.
