Federal Gold Medal shotshells carry decades of world-class performance into every box. These paper hull shells are purpose-built for trap, skeet, and sporting clays, with a 1-1/8 ounce charge of hardened #8 lead shot that patterns evenly across the board.
The paper hull is a Federal exclusive in the competitive shotshell world, and it's designed for shooters who appreciate a classic feel that still delivers top-tier ballistics. You get a solid brass head for reliable extraction, combined with that unmistakable character that paper brings to the shooting experience.
The two-piece SoftCell wad is where these loads really stand out. It crushes progressively to absorb recoil energy, which means less pounding on your shoulder during long practice days or competitions. More importantly, the design produces tighter, more uniform shot patterns compared to traditional one-piece wads. That consistency is what separates competition ammo from everything else on the range.
The #8 shot size is the industry standard for trap and sporting clays. It carries enough energy to break targets cleanly at typical distances while delivering the pattern density you need for reliable hits. These loads won't qualify for Olympic or International competition events, but they're engineered for the vast majority of clay target applications where consistency and performance matter.
#8 shot is the versatile all-around choice for trap and sporting clays, delivering good pattern density at moderate distances while maintaining enough pellet energy to break targets reliably. #7.5 carries more energy per individual pellet and is better suited for longer crossing shots in sporting clays where targets are faster and more distant. Most clay competitors stock #8 as their primary load.
Yes. These shells load at 1200 fps velocity, which sits in the standard range that cycles most semi-automatic shotguns reliably without excessive wear. Check your specific shotgun's manual to confirm it handles target loads, but most modern autos handle these without issue.
Yes. Federal Gold Medal paper shells are designed with reloadability in mind, and that's one reason serious competitors choose them. The paper hulls hold up well to multiple reloads when proper equipment and techniques are used, though you'll want to follow established reloading data for paper hulls specifically.
A 1-1/8 ounce load of #8 shot contains approximately 461 pellets. This high pellet count creates the dense pattern needed for reliable target breaks at typical clay shooting distances.
