FED MSTR CLASS 20GA 2.75″ 7/8OZ #7.5

Description

Federal’s Master Class line is built for competitive clay shooting — specifically the demanding target presentations found in sporting clays and FITASC courses, where consistency and shot pattern integrity matter more than raw power. This 20-gauge load is a practical choice for shooters who want a purpose-built competition round rather than a repurposed hunting shell.

The Podium wad is central to what separates this load from general-purpose target ammunition. It’s a one-piece design developed to work in tandem with Federal’s straight-wall hull, extracting more consistent patterns by controlling how the shot column releases from the bore. The hull itself uses an inserted plastic base wad and a striated tube, features that contribute to reliable extraction and uniform burn characteristics across a high round count — the kind of detail that matters in a multi-stage competitive shoot.

High-antimony lead shot strikes a balance between hardness and density that’s well-suited to target work. Harder shot deforms less during the violence of ignition and travel through the choke, which translates directly to tighter, more predictable patterns at distance. A muzzle velocity of 1,250 fps keeps the load moving briskly enough to break edge-on presentations without generating the kind of recoil that compounds fatigue over a long shoot. At 7/8 oz, the payload is light enough for comfortable volume shooting in a 20-gauge platform. The 306-pellet count at shot size 7.5 provides solid target coverage for the typical clay presentations in FITASC and sporting clays competition. Each box contains 25 rounds.
