12 Ga – 2-3/4″ 1-1/8 oz #7.5 Shot – Federal Top Gun (TGL1275) – 250 Rounds

Number 7.5 shot carries more energy downrange than smaller target shot, which makes it the pick for trap and long sporting clays presentations. This listing is Federal Top Gun 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1-1/8 ounce #7.5 shot target loads, MPN TGL1275, sold as a 250 round case.

Federal rates this load at 1,145 fps with a 1-1/8 ounce payload. The larger #7.5 pellets hold their energy farther than #8 or #9 shot, so they break targets more decisively at 35 yards and beyond. That makes this a favorite for handicap trap, long crossers, and incoming birds on sporting clays courses. The moderate velocity keeps recoil comfortable over a full round, and Federal’s consistent wad and powder charges produce reliable patterns from box to box. Many hunters also use #7.5 target loads for doves and other upland birds where lead is legal.

This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Browning Citori and BT-99, Beretta A400 and 694, Remington 1100 and 870, Krieghoff K-80, Benelli Montefeltro, Mossberg 930, and Winchester SX4. A common question is whether to use #7.5 or #8 for trap. Many shooters use #8 from the 16 yard line and switch to #7.5 for handicap yardage, where the extra pellet energy helps. Another common question is whether 1-1/8 ounce loads are legal for registered trap. Yes. 1-1/8 ounce is the maximum allowed for 12 gauge in most organized clay target games.

Federal TGL1275 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 25 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 12 gauge 1-1/8 ounce #7.5 shot. Buying by the case covers ten rounds of trap from one consistent lot, so your patterns and point of impact stay the same all month. Keep shells cool and dry between range trips.
