Federal Premium HOA 12 Gauge 2-3/4″ #8 Shot – 25/Box

Description

Federal Premium designed these High Over All shells specifically for the demands of trap, skeet, and sporting clays competition. The 1-1/8 ounce payload of hard, high-antimony lead resists deformation during firing, which means your pellets hold their shape and deliver tighter, more predictable patterns downrange. That consistency is what separates a shell that breaks targets from one that just gets close.

The Podium Wad Advantage in Federal High Over All Loads

The one-piece Podium wad is where Federal's real innovation shows up. This wad features a unique compression zone that cushions the payload at ignition, protecting pellets from the forces that normally deform them. The result is pattern uniformity that competitors depend on. You get less flyers, tighter clusters, and the confidence that your gun will shoot the same way from the first round to the 250th.

Built for Reloaders

The solid brass head paired with a tapered, single-piece plastic hull makes these shells a reloader's dream. You'll get more reloads per hull than standard target loads, and the tapered design lets you work with a wider range of wads when you're setting up your own loads. If you're running through multiple cases a season, that durability and flexibility saves real money over time.

What Matters in Competition

At 1200 fps, this load sits in that sweet spot where velocity, payload, and pattern density work together. The #8 shot size delivers more pellets per shell than larger shot, which matters when you're trying to dust targets at varying distances. Competitive shooters reach for #8 when they want options across different presentations, and this Federal load gives you the consistency to take advantage of that.
