Federal FAA12H8 All-American 12Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8oz 8Shot 25 Per Box/10 Case

Federal All-American shotgun ammo in 12 gauge 2.75" is built for shooters who take their trap and skeet seriously. This is competition-grade ammunition engineered to deliver the patterns and consistency that separate winners from the rest of the field. Each round carries 1 1/8 ounces of #8 shot—the standard choice for clay target work—and uses Federal's proven formula of high-antimony lead pellets paired with quality propellant and a reliable Federal primer.

What sets All-American apart is the Podium wad, a one-piece design specifically engineered for straight-wall hulls. The wad's compression zone cushions the shot at ignition, protecting the payload during the critical moment of burn. This attention to wad engineering translates to tighter patterns downrange and a noticeably softer shooting experience—important when you're burning through boxes during practice or tournament days.

High-antimony lead shot provides the hardness and density you need for consistent breaking at the distances competitive shooting demands. Federal backs this with quality components throughout: reliable ignition, consistent propellant charges, and hulls built to withstand the rigors of reloading if you go that route. You get 25 rounds per box, with 10 boxes per case for convenient restocking at the trap house.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between All-American and standard target loads?

All-American uses a proprietary Podium wad with a compression zone that protects the shot payload at ignition. This engineered wad design, combined with high-antimony lead shot, delivers the tighter patterns and reliability competitive shooters need. The compression zone also reduces perceived recoil.

Is this ammunition suitable for trap and skeet competition?

Yes. Federal designed All-American specifically for competitive trap and skeet shooting. The #8 shot size is the standard for clay target work, and the ammunition's engineering—from the wad design to the high-antimony shot—is optimized for the distances and target breaks you encounter in competition.

Can I reload these hulls?

Federal All-American uses straight-wall hulls, which are commonly reloaded by competitive shooters. We recommend consulting reloading manuals and industry resources for proper procedures and safety information.

What does "high-antimony lead shot" mean?

High-antimony shot contains added antimony, which hardens the lead pellets. Harder shot resists deformation during acceleration and maintains its shape better in flight, resulting in tighter patterns and more consistent ballistics downrange—crucial for clay target shooting.
