If you're running 28 gauge for trap, skeet, or sporting clays, these Federal HOA shells were built with you in mind. You get 25 rounds of serious target ammunition that's engineered to perform under the demands of high-volume shooting. Each shell delivers 3/4 oz of hard, high-antimony lead shot at 1250 fps with Federal's signature quality controls baked in from primer to powder.
The attention to detail starts with the primers, which Federal inspects more frequently than industry standards require. The propellants are clean-burning and specially formulated to Federal's stringent specs, then paired with that exclusive one-piece Podium wad. This wad has an engineered crush zone that cushions the payload during ignition, which means less deformation, better pressures, and ultimately more consistent patterns on target. The harder antimony content in the shot resists the forces that would flatten pellets during firing, so your patterns stay tight downrange.
The brass head and tapered, one-piece hull design give these shells legitimate staying power through multiple reloads. Anyone who reloads knows that finding hulls with solid brass heads and clean chambers makes the process smoother and faster. These are built for durability, so you're getting more value with each box you run through your gun. The hull design also works well in tight-chambered competition guns, which means better extraction when it counts.
These loads are purpose-built for the 28 gauge crowd that refuses to compromise. Whether you're testing a new gun, fine-tuning your technique at practice, or stepping up to a serious competition, the HOA line delivers the consistency and reliability that separate confidence from doubt. Made in the USA and trusted by serious competitors, these shells perform reliably box after box.
These shells are compatible with any 28 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75-inch shells, including over-under, pump-action, and semi-automatic models. Make sure your gun is specifically chambered for 28 gauge and can handle 2.75-inch loads before using them.
Yes, these shells are built specifically with reloaders in mind. The solid brass head, tapered one-piece hull, and integral base wad make them easier to reload compared to many other shells. Many shooters get multiple quality reloads from each hull.
Number 8.5 shot falls between #8 (which has more pellets) and #7.5 (which has fewer but larger pellets). For competition clay shooting, 8.5 provides a balanced approach with good pellet density while still delivering adequate impact on target. Your specific application and gun will determine what works best.
Federal's Podium wad features a proprietary crush zone design that cushions the shot payload during ignition, reducing pellet deformation. This helps produce more consistent, tighter patterns and also reduces felt recoil, making these shells more comfortable to shoot during long sessions at the range.
