Fed Hoa 12ga 2.75" #9 25/250

Federal HOA 12 gauge 2.75" #9 shotgun shells are purpose-built for competitive shooters who demand consistency downrange. Whether you're breaking targets on the trap field, working a skeet layout, or running a sporting clays course, these shells are engineered to deliver the tight, predictable patterns that separate competitors from the rest. The #9 shot size excels at longer ranges where precision matters, and Federal's commitment to reloadability means you can run these hulls through your press multiple times before retirement.

What sets HOA apart is the attention to details that compound into performance. The hard, high-antimony lead payload resists deformation on the way down the barrel, preserving energy and pattern integrity. Federal's exclusive Podium wad—a one-piece design—cushions the shot column at ignition and promotes consistent patterns across multiple rounds. The solid brass head and tapered, single-piece plastic hull make the reloading process smoother and accommodate a wider range of wad choices, giving handloaders genuine flexibility.

A solid brass head means durability through repeated reloads, and the eight-segment crimp closes the shell cleanly every time. At 1335 fps, you get reliable velocity that won't surprise you shot to shot. Shooters who reload understand that shell quality matters as much as powder and primer—HOA shells are built with reloading longevity in mind, so you're not constantly buying new hulls. Each box contains 25 rounds; a full case holds 250 rounds.
