Federal HOA12HC18 Premium High Over All 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz 1290 fps 8 Shot 25ea

Federal Premium High Over All 12 gauge shotshells are engineered for shooters who demand consistent, tight patterns and reliable reloading life. Loaded with 1 ounce of hard, high-antimony lead shot in size 8, these 2.75-inch shells deliver 1290 fps—the velocity and payload specification built for trap, skeet, and sporting clays competition. The exclusive Podium wad design pairs with hard-alloy pellets to produce repeatable patterns shot after shot, making them a serious choice for anyone competing or training at the clay range.

Built for longevity and efficiency, the High Over All shell features a solid brass head and tapered one-piece plastic hull designed to withstand multiple reload cycles with a wide selection of aftermarket wads. The eight-segment crimp and integral base wad offer structural consistency that translates into predictable ballistics and easier case prep when you're refreshing shells for the next round of competition. A 25-round box means you can stock up for practice or match day without constant resupply runs.

If you're logging serious time at the clay course and reloading your own shells, Federal's Premium High Over All line removes the guesswork—you get match-grade performance and hulls that hold up to repeated reloading, so your ammunition investment goes further. The hard shot pellets and proven wad system work in concert to deliver the tight, uniform patterns that separate competitive scores.
