Frequently Asked Questions
Is #8 shot the right size for trap, skeet, and sporting clays?
#8 shot is one of the most popular choices for all three clay target disciplines. Its smaller pellet size produces a higher pellet count per ounce, delivering dense, consistent patterns ideal for breaking clay targets at typical competition distances. Many competitive shooters prefer #8 for skeet and close sporting clays presentations, while #7.5 is sometimes favored for longer trap shots — though #8 remains a versatile and widely used competition choice across all three games.
What makes the Federal Podium wad different from standard shotgun wads?
Federal's exclusive Podium wad is engineered to improve shot pattern consistency by better protecting pellets during acceleration down the barrel and providing a cleaner separation at the muzzle. This reduces pellet deformation and fliers, resulting in tighter, more predictable patterns — a critical advantage in competition where broken targets depend on precise pellet placement.
Can these hulls be reloaded, and how many times?
Yes — the Federal Premium High Over All hull is specifically designed with reloaders in mind. The tapered single-piece plastic hull and solid brass head are built to withstand multiple reloading cycles, and Federal advertises more reloads per hull compared to standard competition loads. Most reloaders report getting 5–8 or more solid reloads from these hulls, making them a cost-effective choice for high-volume competitive shooters.
