Nobel Heavy Field Features The Nobel Heavy Field load pairs a 1-1/4 ounce charge of number 8 lead shot with a 3-1/4 dram equivalent powder charge to produce a muzzle velocity of 1220 feet per second a combination tuned for consistent pattern density on smaller upland birds. The plastic hull and 209 primer deliver dependable ignition across a wide range of temperatures which matters to hunters working cold mornings in the field. A 2-3/4 inch shell length keeps this load compatible with the widest range of 12 gauge shotguns from older fixed-chamber guns to modern semi-autos. Number 8 shot throws a dense pattern well suited to pheasant grouse and similar game where multiple pellet strikes matter more than deep penetration. Nobel built this load around standard-velocity performance rather than magnum-level recoil which keeps follow-up shots faster and more comfortable through a day of walking fields and flushing birds. The lead shot construction keeps cost reasonable for hunters who go through significant volume during a full season. Packaged 25 rounds to the box this load is sized for a day in the field without carrying excess weight. Upland hunters looking for an all-time classic load built specifically for non-waterfowl game will find the Nobel Heavy Field a dependable choice season after season.
