Product Overview
Federal Top Gun Target Load Patriot Edition is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge target load made for competition and target shooting. The hull carries a USA flag print over a standard target loading, hard lead #8 at 1,145 fps. At that payload and velocity it is a plain trap and skeet shell, with no handicap speed to it.
About 461 pellets of #8 go into it, and free recoil comes to about 20 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun. The 1 1/8 oz loads compared run from 1,100 to 1,150 fps, so the whole group sits inside a couple of ft-lbs of each other.
If you're cross-shopping, Rio Star Team Target Low Recoil is 5 fps off this one at 1,150 fps with the same payload and shot, on a brass-plated head. Remington's Gun Club Target Load sits at 1,100 fps for about 2 ft-lbs less recoil, on a hull Remington calls reloadable.
- Inside the ATA 16-yard rules on payload, velocity and shot size, which allow nothing larger than #7.5
- Hard lead shot, Federal's primer and the eight-segment crimp, the same components as the rest of the line
- About 102 pellets more than a 7/8 oz target charge of the same shot size, for about 6 ft-lbs more recoil
- Lead shot, so any ground that requires nontoxic shot rules it out
- Apart from the printing it is the same shell as the Pink Edition compared, down to the pellet count and the recoil figure
