Federal Top Gun Target Load, 12 Gauge, 2 3/4", 1 oz, 7.5 Shot Ballistics
2 3/4-inch shell • 1 oz of #7.5 lead shot
Product Overview
Federal Top Gun Target Load is a 1 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge target load made for competition and target shooting. The shot is hard lead #7.5 at 1,180 fps, behind Federal's own primer and an eight-segment crimp. A full ounce makes it a light target load, a step under the 1 1/8 oz shells trap shooters buy by the case.
The ounce carries about 350 pellets, and free recoil works out to about 17 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun. That is softer than all five of the 1 oz #7.5 loads compared, which reach 23 ft-lbs at the fast end.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester Super Target runs the same ounce of #7.5 at 1,250 fps for about 2 ft-lbs more recoil, under a hinged wad Winchester says cushions the ignition impulse. Federal's Top Gun Sporting load takes the same charge to 1,330 fps, past the velocity ATA 16-yard rules allow at a full ounce.
- Inside the ATA 16-yard limits at 1 oz, with 145 fps of headroom to the 1,325 fps cap at this payload
- About 5 ft-lbs softer in a 7.5 lb gun than the fastest 1 oz #7.5 load compared
- Federal's primer, the eight-segment crimp and the Top Gun wad column, the same build as the heavier shells in the line
- Lead shot, so it is out anywhere the club or the land manager requires nontoxic
- Federal names no hull or head for the line, so there is nothing on it for a reloader to go by
