Product Overview

Federal Top Gun Target Load is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge target load made for competition and target shooting. Inside is hard lead #8 at 1,145 fps, with Federal's primer and the eight-segment crimp. A 1 1/8 oz charge at that speed is a standard trap and skeet shell.

The charge holds about 461 pellets of #8. Free recoil is about 20 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, the same figure as the other 1,145 fps loads of this payload compared.

If you're cross-shopping, Estate Super Sport Competition Target carries the same 1 1/8 oz of #8 at 1,200 fps with extra-hard shot, and rates it at 3 dram equivalent, a legacy index of velocity at a given payload and not a powder weight. Winchester Super Target Light Load lands exactly where this one does, 1,145 fps and about 461 pellets, under its hinged wad.

Strengths
  • Comfortably inside the ATA 16-yard velocity cap, which sits at 1,290 fps for this payload
  • About 2 ft-lbs softer in a 7.5 lb gun than the 1,200 fps shell of this payload compared
  • The hard lead shot and wad column Federal loads across the Top Gun target line
Limitations
  • The Pink and Patriot Edition shells compared are this same load under a printed hull, at the same payload, shot size, speed and pellet count
  • Lead shot, which a nontoxic-only club or state land rules out
