Federal Premium Gold Medal Paper 12 gauge shotshells are built for clay target shooters who demand consistency, pattern reliability, and the feel of a classic shotshell load. These 2.75-inch shells deliver 1 1/8 ounces of 7.5 shot at 1200 fps in a traditional paper hull design that has earned trust on ranges and fields across the country. Whether you're working targets at the range or fine-tuning your swing, Gold Medal Paper loads offer the predictable performance serious shooters rely on.
The real refinement here lies in Federal's two-piece SoftCell wad system, which reduces felt recoil while tightening shot patterns for more consistent hits downrange. That translates to less pounding on your shoulder and tighter clusters on target—two things that matter when you're shooting high volume. The brass head ensures your gun cycles and ejects flawlessly, and the harder shot itself is engineered for density and uniformity, so you get even, powerful patterns every time you pull the trigger.
Gold Medal Paper loads come in a 25-round box, making them convenient for practice sessions or a day at the clay course. These are true sportsman's shotshells: no hype, no novelty—just reliable, proven ammunition built for shooters who know what they want.

Yes. These are designed specifically for clay target shooters and have a long history on trap, skeet, and sporting clays ranges. However, they do not qualify for Olympic or International competition.
The two-piece SoftCell wad design reduces felt recoil compared to one-piece wads and produces more uniform shot patterns for tighter, more consistent clusters at the target.
