12 Ga – 2-3/4″ 1-1/8 oz #9 Shot – Federal Top Gun (TGL129) – 250 Rounds

Number 9 shot is the skeet shooter’s favorite, and Federal Top Gun delivers it at a price built for weekly practice. This listing is Federal Top Gun 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1-1/8 ounce #9 shot target loads, MPN TGL129, sold as a 250 round case.

Federal rates this load at 1,145 fps. The 1-1/8 ounce payload of #9 shot holds a very high pellet count, which produces dense patterns that break close and crossing targets cleanly. That is why #9 is the standard choice for skeet and for short sporting clays stations, where targets are thrown at close range and pattern density matters more than retained energy. The moderate velocity keeps recoil manageable over a full round, and the one-piece wad and consistent powder charges help each shell pattern like the last.

This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Beretta A300, A400, and 686 Silver Pigeon, Browning Citori and A5, Remington 1100 and 870, Benelli Montefeltro, Mossberg 500 and 930, CZ Redhead, and Winchester SX4. A common question is when to use #9 versus #8 or #7.5. Number 9 shines on skeet and close targets, #8 is a good all-around clay size, and #7.5 carries more energy for long sporting clays and handicap trap. Another common question is whether #9 shot works for hunting. It is light for most game birds, though some hunters use it for woodcock and very close upland shots where legal.

Federal TGL129 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 #9 shot, enough for ten rounds of skeet from one consistent lot. Store shells in a cool, dry place to keep them performing their best.
