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. It carries hard lead #9 at 1,145 fps, the smallest shot of any load compared, under Federal's primer and eight-segment crimp. Payload and speed are the standard trap loading, and the only figure out of the ordinary is the shot size.
That charge of #9 works out to about 658 pellets, roughly 197 more than the same payload in #8 and about 264 more than in #7.5. Free recoil is still about 20 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, because recoil follows the charge weight and the velocity, not the size of the pellets in it.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester Super Target Light Load puts 1 1/8 oz of #7.5 out at the same 1,145 fps, about 394 pellets of much larger shot. Remington's Gun Club Target Load matches that payload, shot size and speed on a hull Remington calls reloadable.
- The highest pellet count of any load compared
- Inside the ATA 16-yard limits at this payload and velocity, with #9 well under the #7.5 shot-size ceiling
- Hard lead shot with Federal's primer and the eight-segment crimp of the rest of the line
- #9 is a skeet and close-target pellet, and each one weighs less than a #8 or a #7.5
- Lead shot, out on any ground that requires nontoxic
- Federal loads this payload and speed in #8 as well, so the shot size is the whole choice between the two
