Frequently Asked Questions
Why is #7.5 shot a popular choice for trap and sporting clays competition?
#7.5 shot strikes an excellent balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it highly effective for breaking clay targets at the distances typical in trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The higher pellet count compared to #7 or #6 shot increases the probability of a solid hit, while the shot size still delivers enough energy at range to consistently break targets rather than simply chipping them.
How does the Podium wad improve shot patterns compared to standard wads?
Federal's exclusive Podium wad is engineered to hold the shot column together more uniformly during ignition and down the barrel, then release the payload cleanly at the muzzle. This reduces pellet deformation and produces tighter, more consistent patterns — which translates directly to more broken targets and more predictable performance from shot to shot during competition.
Is the Federal Premium High Over All hull really reloadable, and how many times can I reload it?
Yes — the HOA hull is specifically designed with reloaders in mind. The tapered, one-piece plastic hull with an integral base wad and solid brass head is more durable and dimensionally stable than standard hulls, allowing for significantly more reload cycles. While the exact number of reloads depends on your reloading press, powder charge, and storage conditions, many competitive shooters report getting 8–12 or more quality reloads per HOA hull, making it one of the most economical premium competition shells available.
