Federal Premium Gold Medal Grand Handicap 12 gauge 2-3/4" shotshells are built for clay target shooters who take their sport seriously. These paper-hulled loads deliver the consistent performance and reduced recoil that makes them a trusted choice on the range, shot after shot. With a 1-1/8 oz payload and a brass head designed for reliable cycling, they're engineered to pattern cleanly and perform predictably—whether you're working through a trap course or fine-tuning your technique.
What sets these Gold Medal loads apart is Federal's attention to the details that matter in clay shooting. The brass head ensures flawless extraction and cycling, while the two-piece SoftCell wad technology reduces felt recoil and promotes tighter, more uniform patterns than traditional one-piece designs. The lead shot itself is engineered for hardness and density balance, giving you the downrange energy and pattern consistency you expect from a premium clay load.
The paper hull design is classic Federal—durable and reliable. Note that these loads do not meet the specifications for Olympic or International competition play, so check your match rules if you're competing at that level. For serious clay target work in the United States, though, Federal Premium Gold Medal ammunition remains a go-to choice.
