Description
Federal's Action Shotgun line was built with competitive and high-volume shooting in mind. These 2.75" shells pack 1 1/8 ounces of quality lead shot at 1,235 feet per second, hitting the sweet spot between knockdown power and controllable recoil. That velocity is no accident—it's tuned to let you run courses fast without sacrificing accuracy, whether you're pushing through a competition stage or logging hours of practice on the range.
What Makes the Federal Action Load Stand Out
The roll crimp construction adds real rigidity to the shell, which means better cycling in both tube-fed and magazine-fed shotguns. That matters when you're cycling through rounds quickly. The plated steel head handles extraction smoothly, and you get consistent patterns shot after shot. With 200 rounds per box, you can spend more time shooting and less time swapping ammunition.
Pattern and Shot Selection
The #7.5 shot size strikes the right balance for clay work—dense enough to break targets at distance, but with enough pellets to deliver clean patterns. This isn't overkill ammunition. It's purpose-built for the work, which is why Federal has it in their Action Shotgun lineup rather than relegating it to budget lines. You're getting performance-focused ammunition that won't drain your wallet when you're burning through cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Federal Action Shotgun shells cycle properly in both tube and magazine-fed shotguns?
Yes. The roll crimp design provides added rigidity that improves cycling reliability in both tube-fed and magazine-fed shotguns. The plated steel head also supports smooth extraction across different firearm types.
Are these shells suitable for clay target competition?
These shells are designed for target and competition shooting, delivering consistent patterns and reliable performance for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The #7.5 shot size and 1,235 fps velocity provide the density and pattern consistency needed for breaking clay targets effectively.
Can I use Federal AS12H75 shells in my shotgun?
These shells are compatible with any 12-gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75-inch shells. The standard shell length ensures compatibility across a wide range of shotguns, from newer semi-automatics to traditional pump and side-by-side designs.
What's the advantage of buying 200-round boxes versus smaller quantities?
The 200-round case format supports extended range sessions and high-volume practice without frequent reloading interruptions. This is especially practical if you're running competition drills or logging serious training time on the range.
