Federal TGS1288 Top Gun Sporting 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz 1250 fps 8 Shot 25ea

The Federal TGS1288 Top Gun Sporting 12 gauge shotgun ammunition is built for competitive clay shooting. Loaded with 1 ounce of #8 shot traveling at 1250 feet per second, these rounds deliver the speed and pattern consistency that sporting clays competitors depend on. Federal's reputation for reliable performance in the clay games is built on loads like this—fast enough to minimize lead adjustment yet tuned to keep recoil manageable so you can stay on target for quick follow-ups between stations.

Top Gun Sporting loads are engineered specifically for the demands of a three-course competition or a weekend at the trap and skeet range. The 2.75-inch hull keeps payload and velocity in the sweet spot for 40-yard targets without unnecessary punishment, and the consistent performance from round to round means you're not fighting ammunition variables when you should be focusing on your sight picture and timing.

Each box contains 25 rounds of factory-loaded, ready-to-shoot ammunition. Whether you're breaking in a new over-under, running a semi-automatic, or working with a side-by-side, Federal's consistent priming and wad column design support the reliable ignition and shot pattern uniformity you expect from a brand that has dominated clay-shooting ammo for decades.
