12 Ga – 2-3/4″ 1 oz #7.5 Shot – Federal Top Gun (TG12175) – 250 Rounds

Federal Top Gun is one of the most widely used clay target loads in the country, made for shooters who go through shells by the flat. This listing is Federal Top Gun 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1 ounce #7.5 lead shot ammo, MPN TG12175, sold as a 250 round case for trap, skeet, and sporting clays.

Federal rates this load at 1,200 fps. A 1 ounce payload is lighter than the traditional 1-1/8 ounce load, which means noticeably less recoil across a long day while still producing consistent patterns on clays. The #7.5 shot size is a versatile choice for most clay presentations, from 16 yard trap to mid-range sporting stations. Top Gun is a target load, though it can also serve for dove and other light upland birds where lead shot is legal.

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, Benelli Montefeltro and Ethos, Remington 1100 and 870, Winchester SX4, and Mossberg 930. A common question is whether a 1 ounce load will cycle a semi-auto. Most modern gas-operated shotguns run 1 ounce loads at this speed reliably, though some inertia guns need a break-in period. Another common question is whether this load can be used for ducks or geese. No. Federal law prohibits lead shot for waterfowl hunting in the United States.

Federal TG12175 is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in Anoka, Minnesota. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 25 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 12 gauge 1 ounce #7.5 shot. That is ten rounds of trap or a long weekend of sporting clays from one lot. Store shells cool and dry and they will keep for years. Buying by the case also lowers your cost per round, which adds up quickly over a season of league shooting.
