Frequently Asked Questions
Is #8 shot the right size for sporting clays and skeet?
Yes — #8 shot is one of the most popular choices for both sporting clays and skeet. The smaller pellet size produces a higher pellet count per ounce, which creates denser patterns ideal for breaking clay targets at typical presentation distances. For longer crossers or longer-range stations, some shooters prefer #7.5, but #8 is an excellent all-around option for most sporting clays and skeet applications.
Will these shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns?
Federal Top Gun Sporting loads are designed to perform reliably in a wide range of semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns. However, because these are lighter target loads, it's important to ensure your semi-automatic is properly cleaned and adjusted or set to a lighter recoil setting if your gas system is adjustable. Always verify compatibility with your specific firearm's recommended minimum load specifications.
How does this load compare to standard Federal Top Gun shells?
While standard Federal Top Gun loads are great general-purpose target shells, the Top Gun Sporting line is specifically optimized for the demands of sporting clays competition. They feature higher velocities to reduce lead time on fast-moving targets and are tuned for reduced felt recoil, allowing shooters to maintain better form and comfort through an entire course of fire.
