Federal Top Gun Target Load, 12 Gauge, 2 3/4", 1 oz, 8 Shot Ballistics
2 3/4-inch shell • 1 oz of #8 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. Hard lead #8 fills it at 1,180 fps, under the eight-segment crimp and wad column of the rest of the line. An ounce of #8 is a light target shell, below the 1 1/8 oz loads and above the 7/8 oz ones.
That charge comes to about 410 pellets, 60 more than the same ounce in #7.5. Free recoil is about 17 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, which is where the Remington Premier STS and the Winchester Super Target Xtra-Lite land at this payload too.
If you're cross-shopping, the Remington Premier STS matches the payload, the shot size and the pellet count on a reloadable unibody hull, with a wad Remington says cushions the shot column. Federal's Top Gun Sporting load drives the same ounce of #8 to 1,330 fps, about 5 ft-lbs more recoil in the same gun.
- Inside the ATA 16-yard limits at 1 oz, 145 fps under the velocity cap for this payload
- No 1 oz load compared carries more pellets
- Hard lead shot and Federal's own primer, the same components as the heavier Top Gun shells
- Lead shot, which a nontoxic-only range or state land rules out
- Tied for the slowest of the 1 oz #8 loads compared, where the Rio Star Team Target runs 1,250 fps and the Sporting load 1,330
