Federal Ammunition Fed Gold Medal Paper 20Ga 2.75 7/8Oz #7.5 25

Federal Gold Medal Paper 20-gauge shotshells are built for clay shooters who demand consistency and clean breaks downrange. These loads pair Federal's trusted paper hull with high-antimony lead shot formulated to deliver uniform patterns and reliable velocity, making them a natural choice for trap, skeet, and sporting clays competitors who reload their own shells or stock up for regular range sessions.

The 7/8-ounce shot load in #7.5 is a proven combination for 20-gauge clay shooting, offering the speed and pattern density needed to break targets at competitive distances. Federal's brass head ensures reliable feeding and extraction across a wide range of shotguns—a detail that matters when you're running multiple guns through a tournament or a long practice day. The high-antimony shot is harder and denser than standard lead, which means fewer deformed pellets and tighter, more predictable patterns from shot to shot.

The Podium wad design contributes to consistent performance, reducing variables that can throw off your scores or satisfaction at the range. Because these are paper hulls, they're popular with reloaders who appreciate the traditional feel and the economics of pressing shells back into service. Each box contains 25 rounds, a handy size for breaking clay or practicing your technique without committing a full case.
