Federal Master Class Shotshells 20ga 2-3/4" 7/8oz 1250fps #7.5 25/ct

Federal Master Class shotshells are engineered for shooters serious about sporting clays and competitive target shooting. Built on a straight-wall hull and loaded with high-antimony lead shot, these 20-gauge shells deliver the consistency and performance needed to break targets in sanctioned competitions and high-level clay games. At 1250 fps with a 7/8 oz payload, they strike the balance between recoil management and downrange lethality on clay—ideal for the 20-gauge competitor who refuses to compromise on quality ammunition.

The Podium wad is Federal's answer to precision target shooting. This one-piece design works in concert with the straight-wall hull to achieve the pattern uniformity and velocity stability that competitive shooters demand. Combined with a reliable primer and select propellant, Master Class shells are built to perform across multiple rounds without the velocity or pattern variation that derails scores.

At 306 pellets per round, the #7.5 shot size strikes the sweet spot for intermediate clay distances—hard enough to stay on target through wind, dense enough to break birds cleanly. High-antimony lead provides the hardness and density needed to resist deformation in the bore and during the shot string, keeping your patterns tight where they matter most. Whether you're working the bunker at a FITASC event or running a Saturday sporting clays course, Federal Master Class delivers the repeatability competitive shooters require.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Federal Master Class different from standard target loads?

Master Class shells use a one-piece Podium wad and high-antimony lead shot specifically engineered for sporting clays and FITASC competition. The straight-wall hull and select propellant deliver velocity and pattern consistency that shooters depend on across high-round competitions.

Are these 20-gauge shells suitable for competitive clay shooting?

Yes. Federal Master Class is explicitly designed for competition-level sporting clays and FITASC events. The 7/8 oz payload and 1250 fps velocity are tuned for the ranges and target presentations typical of sanctioned competitions.

How many pellets are in each shell?

Each Federal Master Class 20-gauge 7/8 oz #7.5 shell contains 306 pellets.

What is the shot density of these shells?

Federal Master Class shells have a shot density of 11.35 g/cc, providing the hardness and density balance needed for clean target breaks and reliable pattern performance.
