Product Overview

Federal Top Gun is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge target load made for competition and target shooting. The shot is hard lead #7.5 under Federal's eight-segment crimp, at 1,200 fps. That payload at that speed is the standard rung of the clay-target ladder, above the light loads and below the handicap shells.

The payload holds about 394 pellets of #7.5. Free recoil is about 23 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, the baseline the light and handicap target loads are measured against.

If you're cross-shopping, Remington Premier STS matches the payload, shot size and speed exactly, under a Figure 8 wad built to cushion the shot column. Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics lands on the same numbers with first-run chilled lead in a one-piece cup.

Strengths
  • Inside the ATA 16-yard limits at 1 1/8 oz and 1,200 fps, with #7.5 the largest shot those rules allow
  • Hard lead shot under an eight-segment crimp
  • 55 fps faster than Winchester Super Target Light Load 1 1/8 oz #7.5 on the same charge, at standard trap speed
Limitations
  • Lead shot, so a range or state land that requires nontoxic shot rules it out
  • Its payload, shot size and speed match four of the 1 1/8 oz #7.5 target loads compared, so there is no ballistic edge over them
