Federal Premium Gold Medal Paper shotshells are built for shooters who demand consistent, predictable performance at the clay range. These 12 gauge shells combine a traditional paper hull with modern ballistics to deliver the accuracy and recoil management serious competitors expect. Loaded to 1145 fps with 1 1/8 oz of shot, each round in this 25-round box is tuned for reliable cycling, clean breaks, and tight patterns—the hallmarks of competition-grade ammunition.
What sets Gold Medal Paper apart is Federal's two-piece SoftCell wad design, which works to reduce felt recoil and promote more uniform shot distribution downrange compared to conventional single-piece wads. The brass head guarantees smooth extraction and reliable feeding through your shotgun, while the hardened lead shot is engineered to maintain its shape and density through the pattern, translating to more consistent hits when it counts. The paper hull is a proven choice for shooters who prefer the feel and feedback of traditional shotshell construction.
Federal Premium Gold Medal loads are purpose-built for clay target shooting—trap, skeet, and sporting clays. They're not designed for Olympic or International competition formats, but for American shooters running the standard clay games, they're a trusted standard. If you're looking for ammunition that won't waste your range time or your trigger finger, these deliver the consistency that separates casual shooting from serious practice.
