The Federal Premium High Over All (HOA) line was engineered from the ground up for competitive clay target sports. This #9 load pairs hard, high-antimony lead pellets with Federal's proprietary one-piece Podium wad to deliver the dense, consistent patterns that skeet and clay target competitors demand. The high-antimony lead is blended at 5 percent to achieve the ideal density and hardness, resisting deformation when pellets experience the incredible forces at ignition.
What sets the HOA apart is how it handles the mechanics of clay shooting. The exclusive Podium wad cushions the shot payload at the moment of ignition, protecting pellets from deformation and maintaining tight patterns downrange. This focus on consistency extends throughout the load—every component is selected and inspected to ensure you get reliable ignition and predictable performance from shot to shot. The eight-segment crimp and solid brass head round out a design that takes the guesswork out of competition.
The solid brass head and tapered, one-piece hull make the HOA a reloader's dream. Unlike other competition shells, the tapered design simplifies resizing and extends hull life dramatically. If you're putting rounds downrange regularly, the durability of these hulls will pay dividends over time. The tapered construction is a throwback to proven designs, now combined with modern components for reliability that matches the performance.
The #9 shot size excels where skeet shooters operate—at the close ranges (24 yards and closer) where targets present themselves predictably. The smaller pellets deliver superior pattern density, allowing you to break birds decisively in the tight windows that skeet presents. If you're shooting trap or sporting clays at longer distances, the #7.5 and #8 loads from the HOA lineup offer more energy retention, but for skeet, the #9 is purpose-built.
Yes. The #9 shot size is specifically optimized for skeet shooting, where targets are close (typically 15-40 yards) and pattern density is more important than individual pellet energy. Trap and sporting clays shooters typically prefer #7.5 or #8 shot for longer distances where those larger pellets maintain more energy downrange. The Federal HOA line includes multiple shot sizes so you can match your load to your discipline.
Yes, that's one of the HOA's main advantages. The solid brass head and tapered, one-piece hull design make reloading significantly easier than other competition shells and allow the hulls to be reused many more times before they wear out. The tapered design simplifies resizing and reduces wear on your reloading equipment compared to straight-wall hulls.
The Podium wad is Federal's exclusive one-piece wad design that cushions the shot payload at ignition, protecting pellets from deformation. This keeps your patterns tighter and more consistent throughout the flight of the shot. Consistent patterns are critical in competition where you need predictable performance every time you pull the trigger.
The 5 percent antimony blend makes the lead significantly harder so pellets resist deformation when they experience the extreme forces at ignition. Harder pellets maintain their shape and size better, which produces denser, more consistent patterns. This is why HOA shells are preferred by competitive clay shooters—the pattern consistency translates directly to more broken targets.
