Loaded with 1 ounce of hard #8 lead shot, this TGS128 8 load delivers consistent patterns, reliable ignition, and the target-breaking performance needed for trap, skeet, and sporting clays.
Federal has long been a trusted name among competitive and recreational shooters. As a result, Top Gun remains one of the most popular target loads for shooters who demand quality without paying premium competition-level prices.
Performance & Applications
This load contains approximately 410 pellets of #8 lead shot. Additionally, the small pellet size creates dense and uniform patterns that help increase the likelihood of solid hits on fast-moving clay targets.
Many clay target shooters prefer #8 shot because it offers an excellent balance between pellet count and target-breaking energy. Compared to larger shot sizes, #8 shot places more pellets in the pattern, which can help improve consistency on crossing and outgoing targets.
Federal Top Gun #8 Shot leaves the muzzle at approximately 1,250 feet per second. Consequently, shooters benefit from a fast target load that helps reduce lead requirements while maintaining excellent breaking power.
Furthermore, Federal utilizes a specially engineered wad system and eight-segment crimp design to help produce consistent shot patterns. As a result, shooters can expect reliable performance whether they’re shooting trap, skeet, five stand, or sporting clays.
One reason Top Gun loads remain popular is their manageable recoil. While still delivering excellent clay-breaking performance, these shells help reduce shooter fatigue during extended practice sessions and competitions.
