12 Gauge Brass Lead Shotgun Shells for Upland Hunting

12 GA brass-cased, lead-shot loads for upland hunting are offered in 2.75-inch shells, with a smaller number of 3-inch shells, and differ mainly by shot size and shot weight. The range includes #4 Shot, #5 Shot, #6 Shot, and #7.5 Shot, with 1-1/4 oz the typical payload alongside lighter 1 oz loads and less common heavier or intermediate weights. Federal H12675 7.5 Shot uses 1-1/4 oz of #7.5 shot in a 2.75-inch shell, while Winchester XU126 1oz #6 Shot uses 1 oz of #6 shot in a 2.75-inch shell and has a 209 Primer and one piece hinged wad. Federal Premium Hi-Bird SoftCell uses 1-1/4 oz of #5 shot in a 2.75-inch shell and is designed for reliable performance in upland field conditions. Buyers should match the shell length and shot size to the gun and upland hunting purpose, then choose the payload and available box or case quantity that suits the outing. The range uses brass casing and lead shot throughout.
