Frequently Asked Questions
Is #8 shot the right size for trap and skeet shooting?
#8 shot is one of the most popular choices for trap and skeet because its smaller pellet diameter produces a denser pattern at typical clay-target distances (16–50 yards), increasing the probability of a solid hit. For close-station skeet or 16-yard trap, #8 is an excellent all-around selection. Shooters working longer handicap trap distances sometimes step up to #7.5, but #8 remains the dominant choice across all three clay disciplines at the recreational and competitive levels.
Can I reload these Federal HOA hulls multiple times?
Yes — the Federal Premium High Over All hull is specifically engineered with reloading in mind. The tapered, single-piece plastic hull paired with a solid brass head and integral base wad is designed to withstand multiple reloading cycles better than standard target loads. Competitive shooters who reload report consistently good results through several firings, making the cost-per-round even more attractive over time.
Will these shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns?
Federal Premium High Over All loads are designed to function reliably in pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns chambered for 2.75" shells. As with any target load, cycling performance in gas-operated semi-automatics can vary by platform and gas system setup. Most modern competition semi-autos — including those from Beretta, Browning, and Mossberg — cycle 1 oz. loads without issue, but it's always a good idea to pattern-test any new load in your specific gun before using it in competition.
