Federal Gold Medal shotshells have been a standard for competitive and recreational clay target shooters for decades. These 2-3/4 inch loads combine a classic paper hull with a high-quality brass head for reliable feeding and extraction through any shotgun. The 1-1/8 ounce payload of 7.5 lead shot works great for trap, skeet, and sporting clays applications.
These Federal shells feature an exclusive paper hull design that feels different in your hands and delivers a distinct shooting experience. The paper construction contributes to the perception of softer recoil compared to plastic hulls, and many experienced shooters appreciate the rewarding feel of reloadable paper cases. The nostalgic burn smell when firing also brings back memories of traditional shotgun shooting.
The two-piece wad design with SoftCell technology creates an air pocket that acts like a cushioning chamber between the powder and shot charge. This design choice reduces perceived recoil while improving shot uniformity. Federal testing showed that these loads produce tighter, more consistent patterns than standard single-piece wad designs, with measurably denser coverage at target distance. The harder lead shot, engineered with extra antimony content, resists deformation during acceleration and delivers more even patterns downrange. A brass head ensures the shell feeds and extracts flawlessly in most shotguns.
Federal constructs these loads with primers and propellants inspected to tighter tolerances than standard ammunition, promoting consistent performance shot after shot. Clean-burning powders deliver reliable ignition even in challenging conditions. Whether you're working through boxes at the range to dial in your gun or shooting registered targets, Gold Medal shells deliver the consistency serious shooters demand.
Yes, these paper hulls are reloadable multiple times. The paper construction with a crimped end and quality brass head make them good candidates for reloading. You may get three or more reloads from each hull depending on your technique and equipment. Many shooters prefer reloading paper cases for the quality of the crimp and the rewarding nature of the process.
The two-piece SoftCell wad design creates an air pocket between the powder charge and the shot column, acting as a cushioning chamber. This design reduces the shock transfer to your shoulder compared to single-piece wads. Combined with Federal's faster-burning propellants, the wad design lowers perceived recoil without sacrificing pattern quality.
Shot size selection depends on your target distance and shooting discipline. Number 7.5 shot offers a balance between pellet count and pattern density for most clay target sports at standard yardages. The slightly larger pellets carry a bit more energy downrange compared to smaller shot sizes, making them effective for breaking clays at distance.
These are specifically designed and labeled as target loads for clay target sports. While the ballistics would technically work for some hunting applications, they're engineered and intended for competitive and recreational clay shooting. For hunting, Federal produces loads specifically designed for that purpose.
