Frequently Asked Questions
Is #8 shot the right size for sporting clays and skeet?
#8 shot is one of the most popular choices for both sporting clays and skeet due to its high pellet count, which creates dense patterns ideal for breaking clay targets at typical engagement distances. For closer stations or skeet, #8 or even #9 is preferred, while #7.5 may be chosen for longer crossers. For most sporting clays courses, #8 is an excellent all-around selection.
Will these shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns?
Federal Top Gun Sporting loads are designed to function reliably in the majority of gas-operated and inertia-driven semi-automatic shotguns chambered for 2.75" shells. However, very light target loads can occasionally fail to cycle in some tightly tuned competition guns. It is always recommended to verify function with your specific firearm before using a new load in competition.
How does the reduced recoil benefit high-volume shooters?
Reduced felt recoil means less muzzle rise and fatigue over the course of a full round or a long practice session—sometimes hundreds of shells in a single day. Less recoil also helps you reacquire your sight picture faster for quick doubles, which is a significant advantage in sporting clays where two-target presentations are common.
