Federal's High Over All series represents exactly what competition shooters need when precision matters. These 28 gauge shells are specifically built for the demands of clay target sports where consistency and pattern control separate winners from the rest of the field.
The key to performance here is the hard, high-antimony lead payload. Those harder pellets resist deformation as they travel down the barrel and through the air, which means tighter patterns and more reliable target breaks. That matters when you're running 50 or 100 targets in a session. The exclusive one-piece Podium wad system from Federal works to keep that payload stable and consistent through the pattern, reducing flyers that can cost you targets. With a muzzle velocity of 1250 fps and a 2 dram equivalent load, you get a smooth shooting experience without excessive recoil, which helps you stay sharp for the entire round.
One of the overlooked benefits of these shells is the solid brass head and tapered hull design that make them easy to reload. If you're handloading, Federal built these hulls to last through multiple cycles, giving you better longevity than typical target loads. The consistent construction from box to box means your reloads will be predictable, which translates to better scores.
The number 8 shot size with a 3/4 ounce payload is the sweet spot for most clay shooting situations with a 28 gauge. You get enough pellets in the pattern to break targets consistently while maintaining the softer recoil that makes the 28 gauge such a pleasure to shoot all day. Whether you're working singles on the trap field, tighter presentations in skeet, or the varied angles of sporting clays, these shells deliver the pattern uniformity that keeps you in the game.
The HOA uses hard, high-antimony lead pellets that resist deformation for tighter patterns and more consistent target breaks. The one-piece Podium wad system keeps the pattern stable, and the solid brass head with tapered hull design makes reloading easier if you handload. All of this adds up to premium competition performance.
Yes. The hull construction with solid brass head and tapered design makes them reloader-friendly. The consistent construction from box to box means your reloads will be predictable and reliable through multiple cycles, making them a smart choice if you shoot regularly.
The 3/4 ounce number 8 load is the standard for most 28 gauge clay shooting. You'll get plenty of pellets for consistent target breaks while keeping recoil manageable for all-day shooting. Some competitors prefer 7.5 for longer presentations or 9 for close-range skeet, but 8 is the versatile middle ground that handles all three clay sports well.
That velocity provides a good balance. It's fast enough to reach distant targets cleanly without excessive recoil that can affect your form or tire you out during extended shooting sessions. Federal's 1250 fps load is reliable and predictable, which matters when you're trying to shoot consistently across 100 targets.
