Federal Top Gun Target Load Pink Edition is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge target load made for competition and target shooting. The hull is pink; the loading inside is hard lead #8 at 1,145 fps, with Federal's primer, the eight-segment crimp and the usual wad column. A 1 1/8 oz charge at 1,145 fps is the slow end of the standard trap band, well short of handicap speed.

The hull holds about 461 pellets of #8. Free recoil is about 20 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, the same as every other 1 1/8 oz load at this velocity.

If you're cross-shopping, Winchester Super Target Light Load matches the payload, the shot size and the 1,145 fps, under a hinged wad Winchester says cushions the ignition impulse. Rio Star Team Target Low Recoil carries the identical payload, shot size and pellet count within 5 fps of it, over a 10 mm brass-plated head.
