Federal Ammunition 12Ga 2.75 1Oz 3Dram #9 25/10

Federal All-American 12-gauge 2.75-inch shotshell ammunition delivers the consistency and performance competitive shooters rely on for trap and skeet. Loaded with 1 ounce of #9 lead shot at 3 dram equivalent, this load is engineered to break targets reliably while keeping recoil manageable—a crucial edge in disciplines where you're running tight strings. The straight-wall hull and proprietary Podium wad system work together to support pattern integrity and velocity consistency from shot to shot.

The real innovation here is Federal's compression-zone wad design. That cushioning effect at ignition does two things: it protects the shot payload from deformation during the firing sequence, and it translates to a noticeably softer shooting experience. When you're calling your shots all day, softer matters. High-antimony lead pellets strike a balance between hardness and density—hard enough to resist flattening as they accelerate down the bore, dense enough to carry energy downrange to distant clay presentations.

Federal backs this with their own propellant and primers, both tuned for precision and reliability. Whether you're working the 16-yard line in trap or breaking pairs in skeet, you get uniform ignition and velocity that lets your technique shine through. The #9 shot size is classic competition fare: plenty of pellets for a dense pattern without over-penetration on thin targets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Federal All-American and other competition loads?

Federal's Podium wad has a compression zone engineered specifically for straight-wall hulls. That cushioning protects the shot pellets during ignition, reducing deformation and keeping patterns tighter. The softer recoil is also a real benefit over a long shooting day in trap or skeet.

Is #9 shot the right choice for competition?

Yes. #9 is the traditional competition shot size because it provides a dense pattern without overkill on fragile clay targets. The high-antimony lead pellets in this load resist flattening, so each pellet carries its energy consistently downrange.

Can I reload these shells?

The product record does not include reloading information. Contact Federal or your reloading manual for guidance on this specific hull.

What's included in the case?

You get 25 rounds per box and 10 boxes per case, for a total of 250 rounds. Each round is loaded to the same velocity and pattern specifications for consistency across your match.
