Federal Top Gun is a go-to value target load for clay shooters who shoot a lot of rounds every week. This listing is Federal Top Gun 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1-1/8 ounce #8 shot target loads, MPN TGL128, sold as a 250 round case.
Federal rates this load at 1,145 fps, a smooth, moderate speed that keeps recoil comfortable over a long round of trap or sporting clays. The 1-1/8 ounce payload is the standard maximum for most clay target games, and #8 shot is a versatile size that breaks targets at trap and sporting distances while still producing dense patterns. Top Gun uses a one-piece plastic wad and consistent powder charges for reliable patterns from box to box, and the shells feed and eject smoothly in pumps, semi-autos, and break actions.
This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Beretta A300, A400, and 686, Browning Citori and A5, Remington 870 and 1100, Benelli Montefeltro and Ethos, Mossberg 500 and 930, and Winchester SX4. A common question is whether #8 or #7.5 is better for trap. Many shooters use #8 for 16 yard trap and close sporting stations and #7.5 for handicap trap and longer targets. Another common question is whether these work for doves. Yes. Many hunters use 1-1/8 ounce #8 target loads in the dove field, where they are legal. Check whether your shotgun’s semi-auto action needs heavier loads to cycle; most modern gas guns run 1-1/8 ounce loads well.
Federal TGL128 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 #8 shot. Buying by the case covers ten rounds of trap or skeet and keeps you on one lot for consistent patterns.
