FED ALL AMER 12GA 2.75″ 1 1/8OZ #7.5

Description

Federal’s All-American line is built around competitive clay target shooting — specifically the demands of trap and skeet, where consistent patterns matter more than raw power. This load is designed for shooters who run high round counts and want a shell that performs reliably at the break without battering them over a long day on the range.

At the core of the design is Federal’s Podium wad, a one-piece component engineered specifically for straight-wall hulls. The wad incorporates a compression zone that absorbs some of the shock as the propellant ignites, which softens the transition from ignition to shot travel and helps keep the payload intact rather than deformed. Deformed pellets fly erratically, so protecting the shot column at ignition translates directly to tighter, more predictable patterns at the target.

The shot itself is high-antimony lead. Antimony hardens the alloy, reducing deformation as pellets accelerate through the bore and choke. Harder shot holds its round shape longer in flight, which is the key variable for breaking targets at distance. The 1,250 fps muzzle velocity and 1 1/8 oz payload sit squarely in the range where most trap and skeet shooters operate, balancing sufficient pellet energy against manageable recoil for sustained shooting sessions.

The straight-wall hull and Federal primer round out a system that prioritizes consistency: uniform ignition, consistent pressure curves, and repeatable patterns. For competitors who track their scores carefully, that shot-to-shot consistency is worth more than peak performance on any single pull.
