20 Ga – 2.75″ 7/8 oz #9 Shot – Federal Top Gun (TG209) – 250 Rounds

Skeet and sporting clays shooters who use a 20 gauge go through shells quickly, and Federal Top Gun is built as an affordable target load for exactly that. This listing is Federal Top Gun 20 gauge 2-3/4 inch 7/8 ounce #9 shot target ammo, MPN TG209, sold as a 250 round case. It suits clay shooters, youth programs, and anyone who practices with a lighter gauge.

Federal rates this load at 1,210 fps. A 7/8 ounce charge of #9 lead shot gives a dense pattern of small pellets, which is what you want for close crossing targets at skeet and on short sporting clays stations. The velocity is moderate, so recoil stays comfortable through a full round of 25 or 50 targets, which helps newer shooters keep their form. This is target ammunition, best for clays and informal shooting. It is too light for most game birds beyond very close range.

These shells fit any 20 gauge shotgun with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Beretta A300 and A400, Benelli Montefeltro, Browning Citori and BPS, Remington 870 and 1100, Mossberg 500, and Winchester SX4. A common question is whether a 2-3/4 inch shell can be fired in a 3 inch chamber. Yes. Shorter shells are safe in a longer chamber, but never fire a longer shell in a shorter one. Another common question is which choke works best with #9 shot. Skeet or improved cylinder chokes are common for close targets, while a modified choke helps on longer sporting clays presentations.

Federal TG209 is new production ammunition made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. Each shell has a plastic hull and brass head, and the hulls can be reloaded by shooters who load their own target shells. The case ships as 10 boxes of 25 shells for 250 total from one lot, which keeps recoil and pattern behavior consistent from round to round at the club.
