Federal Top Gun Target Load, 12 Gauge, 2 3/4", 7/8 oz, 8 Shot Ballistics
2 3/4-inch shell • 7/8 oz of #8 lead shot
Product Overview
Federal Top Gun Target Load is a 7/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge target load made for competition and target shooting. Its charge of hard lead #8 leaves at 1,200 fps behind Federal's primer, with the eight-segment crimp the line shares. Seven-eighths of an ounce is the lightest common target charge, under both the 1 oz and the 1 1/8 oz shells.
The charge holds about 359 pellets. Free recoil is about 14 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun. A charge this light is the kind that can leave a gas semi-auto short of the pressure it needs to cycle, which is a property of the gun and not of the shell.
If you're cross-shopping, Kent Elite Low Recoil-Training matches the 7/8 oz charge, the #8 shot and the 1,200 fps. Winchester Super Target Xtra-Lite steps up to a full ounce at 1,180 fps for about 410 pellets.
- Under the ATA 16-yard velocity cap by 150 fps, since those rules allow 1,350 fps at 7/8 oz
- About 3 ft-lbs softer in a 7.5 lb gun than the 1 oz #8 target loads compared
- Federal's primer and the eight-segment crimp, the same build as the heavier Top Gun shells
- Roughly 51 pellets short of what an ounce of the same #8 shot holds
- Lead shot, which rules it out on any range or state land that requires nontoxic
