Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Federal Top Gun has been a reliable choice for clay shooters for decades, and this 12-gauge load continues that tradition with proven performance. Loaded with 1-1/8 ounces of hard lead #8 shot propelled to 1200 feet per second, these shells are engineered to put consistent patterns on target when it matters.
The foundation of these loads starts with hard lead shot. This keeps pellets round and uniform, which means tighter, more predictable patterns downrange. Federal backs this up with consistent primer and propellant combinations you can count on from shell to shell. The real difference though is the wad column design, which is engineered specifically to stabilize the shot payload for better pattern efficiency and cleaner separation as the shot exits the barrel.
Whether you're working trap, skeet, or sporting clays, #8 shot with 1-1/8 ounces gives you the pellet count you need to break targets reliably at normal shooting distances. The 1200 fps velocity is fast enough to reach out but moderate enough that you're not fighting excessive recoil during extended practice sessions. This makes it ideal for working on fundamentals or putting in high-round practice days where consistency matters more than chasing every last fps.
Buying in bulk saves money per round, and the 10 boxes of 25 shells fit easily in your shooting bag for a full day at the range. Once-fired hulls are reloadable, so these shells serve double duty for handloaders looking to keep their costs down.
Number 8 shot works well at typical clay target ranges, generally under 40 yards where the pellet count provides good pattern density. At closer distances typical of skeet and many trap setups, the 461 pellets per shell give you plenty of coverage to break targets consistently. For longer-range clay shooting, many prefer #7.5 for slightly more knockdown power, but #8 excels when you need a tight pattern of smaller pellets.
Yes, the plastic hulls are reloadable, which makes these shells economical for handloaders. The durable construction holds up to multiple reloading cycles, so you can keep costs down over time by reusing the hulls with fresh primers, powder, wads, and shot.
These shells feed reliably in most shotgun actions. The consistent construction and standard primer keep ignition dependable. Some users have noted occasional feeding issues with certain semi-auto models due to the crimp design, but this is less common than with some other brands. Testing in your specific shotgun is always recommended for competition use.
Federal Top Gun shells excel as a practice load where your goal is high-volume shooting at reasonable cost. The consistent patterns make them reliable for building fundamentals. Many competitive shooters practice with Top Gun to keep expenses down, then switch to premium loads for registered events, though some shoot them in competition as well.
