The Federal All-American 12-Gauge 2.75-inch 1oz #9-Shot 25-round box is high-velocity competition target shotshell ammunition engineered specifically for skeet, trap, and close-to-mid-range sporting clays disciplines. A primary challenge during fast-paced skeet and target events is achieving maximum pattern density across fast-crossing trajectories without generating excessive felt recoil. Federal solves these competitive performance requirements by pairing a 3 Dram equivalent powder charge and high-antimony #9 lead shot with their specialized one-piece Podium wad, delivering high-speed 1,250 FPS velocity, extreme pellet counts, and cushioned recoil absorption.
The core technical advantage relies on Federal's specialized one-piece Podium wad engineered explicitly for straight-wall hulls. Featuring a built-in compression zone, the wad absorbs initial ignition pressure to reduce felt recoil and prevent setting deformation across the 1oz payload of fine lead pellets. Formulated with a high-antimony alloy for increased rigidity, the extra-fine #9 pellets resist crushing inside the barrel and under air resistance, ensuring an exceptionally dense downrange cloud, true flight trajectories, and uniform pattern consistency without stray flyers.
Engineered for demanding tournament marksmen requiring maximum pellet spread and energy transfer on fast targets, this 3 Dram load delivers a fast 1,250 FPS velocity profile for shortened lead times and decisive target breaks. Assembled in reloadable straight-wall hulls with clean-burning propellants and ultra-responsive non-corrosive primers, the cartridge guarantees uniform chamber pressures, low barrel fouling, and reliable cycling across over-under, side-by-side, and semi-automatic competition shotguns.
Key Benefits
- High-Velocity Dense Patterning: 3 Dram charge and 1,250 FPS velocity shorten target lead times while #9 shot maximizes pattern density.
- One-Piece Podium Wad Compression: Custom ignition cushion absorbs shock to soften felt recoil and protect pellet sphericity.
- Hardened High-Antimony Lead: Precision-formed #9 pellets resist deformation under setback forces to create a uniform downrange shot cloud.
- Clean-Burning Ignition System: Premium powders and primers minimize fouling across extended tournament rounds.
