Federal GMT12178 Premium Paper Wad 12 Gauge 1 oz 25 Per Box/ 10 Cs

Federal Premium Paper Wad 12 gauge shotshells deliver the classic combination of reliable performance and affordable clay target shooting that's made them a go-to choice for shooters who value consistency without breaking the bank. These 1 oz loads come in a convenient 25-round box format, and this case contains 10 boxes—enough to stock your range bag or supply a competitive season without frequent restocking.

Built around Federal's proven paper hull design, these shotshells pair high-antimony lead shot engineered for hard, dense patterns with a two-piece wad system featuring SoftCell technology. The two-piece construction is specifically designed to reduce felt recoil and deliver more uniform shot patterns downrange compared to traditional one-piece wads. That means tighter clusters at the clay and less punishment on your shoulder during extended shooting sessions.

The brass head ensures smooth cycling and reliable extraction across a wide range of shotgun actions, so you can focus on your shooting rather than troubleshooting. Whether you're honing your technique at the range, competing in local shoots, or just enjoying a day on the clays, these Federal loads offer the balance of performance and value that working shooters expect.
