Yes, I agree, they mean the same. `Give it a shot` sounds very informal, so pretty much normal to Americans:) Give it a try is neutral in register.

In short, both point to the fact that you are making an attempt at doing something. So yes, I would consider them to be similar. It just depends on the person and the situation in which they are used.
