Fiocchi High Velocity 16ga 2 3/4″ 1 1/8oz #7.5 Shot 16HV7539279 – Gordy

For Tennessee hunters and shooters, the Fiocchi High Velocity 16ga 2 3/4″ 1 1/8oz #7.5 Shot 16HV7539279 – Gordy offers a reliable option for pursuing upland birds across the Volunteer State’s fields and woodlands. Whether you’re working a pointing dog on bobwhite quail in Middle Tennessee or walking a cornfield for doves near the Mississippi River, this load provides the velocity needed to reach out with authority. It also serves well for busting clay targets at your local range, making it a versatile choice for the 16-gauge shooter who appreciates a classic bore size.

What This Product Is and Who It’s For

This is a factory-loaded, high-velocity 16-gauge shotshell from Fiocchi, featuring a 2 3/4″ hull, 1 1/8 ounces of #7.5 lead shot, and a 25-round box. It is designed for upland bird hunters who need consistent patterns and sufficient energy on birds like quail, pheasant, and grouse. It also suits clay target shooters using 16-gauge shotguns for recreational trap, skeet, or sporting clays. This ammunition is not intended for home defense or large waterfowl hunting, as the #7.5 shot size and lead composition are better matched to smaller game and target use. Collectors of 16-gauge ammunition or those who simply enjoy shooting a lighter-recoiling gauge will find this a practical addition to their inventory.

Feature Deep-Dive

The Fiocchi High Velocity line is built around delivering consistent, repeatable performance from the first shot to the last. The 1 1/8-ounce payload of #7.5 shot provides a dense pattern that is effective on small to medium upland birds at typical hunting ranges. The high velocity helps reduce lead time on crossing targets, which is particularly useful when shooting fast-flushing quail or doves in Tennessee’s variable terrain.

The 2 3/4-inch hull is a standard length that fits most modern 16-gauge shotguns, including popular models from Browning, Winchester, and Remington. Fiocchi uses quality components, including clean-burning powder and reliable primers, to ensure function in both automatic and pump-action shotguns. The plastic hull is durable enough for reloading if you choose to reuse the brass and primer pocket, though this depends on the condition of the hull after firing.

Shot size #7.5 is a versatile choice for upland hunting because it balances pellet count and retained energy. With roughly 350 pellets per shell, you get a thick pattern that can cleanly take birds out to 35-40 yards. This makes it a good fit for Tennessee’s early-season dove fields and late-season quail hunts where shots are often inside that range. The high velocity also helps flatten the trajectory, reducing the need for excessive holdover.

Fiocchi ammunition is manufactured in Italy and imported by Fiocchi of America, with a reputation for consistent quality control. The 16-gauge offering is part of a broader line that includes target loads and hunting loads, but this specific high-velocity variant stands out for its ability to deliver a bit more speed without excessive recoil. For shooters who appreciate the 16-gauge’s balance of payload and recoil, this load provides a smooth shooting experience compared to heavier 12-gauge options.

Each box of 25 rounds is packed in a sturdy cardboard box, making it easy to store in your hunting vest or range bag. The packaging clearly lists the gauge, shell length, shot size, and velocity, so there is no confusion when you are grabbing shells for a hunt. This attention to detail is typical of Fiocchi’s approach to providing straightforward, functional ammunition for the shooting community.

Finally, the #7.5 shot size is widely accepted at clay target facilities that allow lead shot, making these shells a dual-purpose option. If you are heading to a sporting clays course in Tennessee on Saturday and then hunting doves on Sunday, this single box can cover both activities. While it is not a dedicated target load, the high velocity and consistent patterns make it a capable performer on the range.

Ideal Use Cases

• Upland Bird Hunting: Excellent for quail, pheasant, grouse, and woodcock in Tennessee’s fields, grasslands, and forest edges.
• Clay Target Shooting: Suitable for recreational trap, skeet, and sporting clays where lead shot is permitted. The high velocity helps break targets at moderate distances.
• General Range Practice: Good for familiarizing yourself with your 16-gauge shotgun’s point of aim and function without the cost of premium target loads.

Compatibility Notes

This ammunition is designed for 16-gauge shotguns with 2 3/4-inch chambers. It is not compatible with 3-inch chambers unless the firearm is specifically rated for 2 3/4-inch shells, but most modern 16-gauge guns chambered for 2 3/4-inch shells will function properly. Check your shotgun’s barrel stamp to confirm chamber length. Fiocchi ammunition uses Boxer primers, which are standard for reloading in the United States. For holsters, magazines, or accessories, these items are specific to the shotgun platform, not the ammunition itself. If you need additional boxes, we recommend buying in multiples of 25 to ensure you have enough for a full day of hunting or shooting.
