Product Overview
Remington Game Load is a 1 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge upland load made for upland birds, small game and general field shooting. It is lead #8 at 1,290 fps. One ounce of #8 is the small-bird end of the field loads, below the 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 oz shells.
The ounce carries about 410 pellets of #8. Free recoil is about 21 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, the same figure every 1 oz load at 1,290 fps compared works out to, whatever the shot size. Pellet size and count are the only numbers that move between those shells.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal Game-Shok Upland Load at the same ounce and speed uses #6, about 225 pellets of heavier shot over a brass-plated steel head. B&P Dove & Quail carries 1 1/8 oz of #8 at 1,255 fps, about 51 more pellets for about 4 ft-lbs more recoil.
- About 410 pellets of #8, as many as any 1 oz field load compared carries
- #8 suits dove, quail and small game, with #6 and larger the step up for heavier birds and cover
- Remington's own use for it is upland birds, small game and general field work, not clay targets
- Not nontoxic, which rules it out where upland hunting calls for nontoxic shot
- Remington names no plating or hardness for the shot, where Federal's Game-Shok shot is formulated for hardness
