Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between #8 and #7.5 shot for clay target shooting?
#8 shot contains more, smaller pellets than #7.5, which increases pattern density at shorter ranges — making it the preferred choice for skeet and close-range sporting clays stations. #7.5 shot retains slightly more energy at longer distances and is often favored for trap shooting or longer sporting clays presentations. For most skeet and close-range clay games, #8 is the go-to selection.
Will these Federal Top Gun shells cycle reliably in a semi-automatic shotgun?
Federal Top Gun 1-1/8 oz. loads at 1,145 fps are designed to cycle reliably in the vast majority of gas-operated and inertia-driven semi-automatic shotguns set up for standard target loads. If your semi-auto is tuned for lighter 1 oz. loads, you may need to adjust the gas system. Always consult your firearm's owner manual for minimum recommended load specifications.
How should I store unused shotgun shells to maintain their reliability?
Store your Federal Top Gun shotshells in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. Keeping ammunition in its original box or an airtight container helps protect the primer and powder from moisture degradation. Properly stored shotgun ammunition can remain reliable and safe for many years.
