Federal’s Top Gun Lead and Steel Shotshells With Paper Wad

    Top Gun Lead

    Shooting clays out of the sky is very fun, but also valuable training for all kinds of shooters. While some shooters prefer a casual environment, competition is where some of the best shooters live. For them, Federal has released the new Top Gun Lead and Top Gun Steel shotshells. These are designed specifically for shooting clays and use a paper over-powder wad.

    Force X2 Shorty

    Federal’s Top Gun shells come in lead or steel. Both versions are made to send clays to their doom. They use a cellulose-based filler to keep the shot patterning right. Federal is giving shooters a total of four options, all of which are 12-gauge, 2 3/4″ shells. If lead is what you want, 7.5 and 8 shot is available. They both use a 1 1/8 ounce charge and fly toward the target at 1,200 feet per second. If steel is more your style, 7.5 shot is your only option. Both use a one-ounce charge, one gives you 1,250 feet per second, while the other pumps an extra 50 feet per second, totaling 1,300. All of these options use a paper wad to help reduce the amount of plastic on the ground.
