Federal Gold Medal Paper shells have earned their reputation through pure performance on clay courses and at the trap range. These loads are engineered specifically for the shooter who wants predictable results without the harshness of standard ammunition.
The foundation starts with Federal's exclusive paper hull design, which has become synonymous with competitive clay shooting. Paired with a brass head for reliable extraction and flawless cycling, these shells deliver the kind of dependability serious clay athletes expect. The 1-1/8 ounce payload of #7.5 shot at 1200 fps gives you the right balance of pellet count and shot density for breaking targets with precision.
At the heart of these loads is the two-piece SoftCell wad technology. Unlike single-piece wads, this design actually reduces the felt recoil while improving shot uniformity. The geometry matters here—the wad configuration keeps pellets tighter through the air, which translates to denser, more dependable patterns downrange. Whether you're patterning a new gun or grinding through competition rounds, consistency matters, and that's what you get with every shot.
Federal uses extra-high-antimony lead shot engineered for maximum hardness and density. This prevents pellet deformation during the firing process, which means your pattern stays tight even after the shot exits the barrel. The combination of harder shot and the SoftCell wad philosophy gives you pattern performance that competitors recognize and trust.
These 25-round boxes are packaged for the clay target shooter who shoots volume. Whether you're preparing for a competition season or running through practice rounds at your favorite club, the Gold Medal Paper line delivers the performance repeatability you need to trust your gun and focus on your shooting.
Paper hulls like those in Federal Gold Medal shells have been the standard in clay target shooting for good reason. They pattern consistently and many shooters report the felt recoil is slightly lower than plastic hulls. The brass head gives you reliable extraction while maintaining the classic paper hull performance clay shooters have trusted for decades.
The two-piece SoftCell wad design reduces felt recoil by absorbing and dispersing energy more efficiently than single-piece wads. At the same time, the geometry actually improves pattern density by keeping your shot charge more uniform as it travels downrange. This combination means less shoulder punishment with tighter patterns—exactly what you want in a target load.
Number 7.5 shot is one of the most versatile sizes for clay target shooting. It offers enough pellets for good pattern density while maintaining adequate downrange energy. For trap and sporting clays at typical shooting distances, 7.5 is the go-to choice for most shooters. Adjust your choke constriction to dial in your specific gun and shooting style.
Federal Gold Medal Paper shells are designed to be reloaded. The paper hulls with brass heads hold up well to multiple reloads, which is why many serious competitive shooters keep and recycle their empties. Just follow proper reloading procedures and equipment specifications for this shell type.
