250 Rounds of 1 ounce #8 shot HV 12ga Ammo by Federal

Shooting clays can be quite a bit of fun, and it might be easier than you think. For greater success, whether you shoot trap or skeet, start by practicing at home with your shotgun unloaded. Once you’re positive your gun is unloaded, stand in front of a mirror and practice mounting your shotgun to your shoulder. Raise the stock to your cheek, then lower the stock to cradle it against your shoulder. Learning to make swinging the shotgun up and mounting it to your shoulder one smooth motion will make it easier to get shots off faster. Many pro shooters practice in front of mirrors on a daily basis, making sure their posture is upright and their feet and properly set. Practice truly does make perfect.

These 12 gauge rounds each measures 2 ¾” in length. They’re each loaded with #8 steel buckshot and have a 1 ounce load, which provides plenty of clay-busting power. Keeping the load at 1 ounce rather than a higher 1 1/8 ounce load helps to reduce felt recoil, making it easier to get back on target and make rapid follow-up shots. Each of these rounds flies from the barrel of your shotgun with a muzzle velocity of 1145 feet per second. These are Federal’s target loads, specifically meant for shooting clays, but they can also be used for target practice.

When you order this box of ammunition from Federal you get 250 rounds. That’s enough ammunition to keep your shotgun well-fed for awhile and to give you some dedicated trigger time. Every time you slap your shotgun’s trigger your marksmanship is affected, for better or worse, so make sure to take the time to make every shot count. These rounds feature Federal’s 8-segment crimp, Triple Plus wad column, and clean-burning propellants, which aid in greater velocity. Federal manufactures ammunition according to exacting standards at their longtime factory in Anoka, Minnesota. Whether you want to shatter clays or punch holes in paper, place your order, and feed your shotgun.
