Federal Master Class competition-level sporting clay load features a customized Podium wad that extracts peak performance from Federal’s straight-wall hull. High-antimony lead shot, a reliable primer, and select propellant combine to break the most challenging targets in high-level sporting clays and FITASC shoots. Each box contains 25 rounds of 2-3/4″ shells loaded with 7/8 ounce of #7.5 lead shot, delivering a muzzle velocity of 1250 fps.
This load features a One-Piece Podium Wad, Two-Piece Straight-Wall Hull, Inserted Plastic Base Wad, and striated tube design optimized for consistent patterns and reliable performance. High-antimony shot and solid materials in the build give Master Class its crisp breaks on distant targets. Federal uses 5% antimony lead shot, but thanks to alloy choices, they claim a hardness equivalent to 6% antimony. Harder shot resists deformation, which means tighter, more consistent patterns and more authoritative breaks on distant targets.
The 20 Gauge Master Class delivers a lighter recoil profile without compromising on performance, making it ideal for competitive shooters seeking quality components at a practical price point. Velocity for these competition-level shotshells ranges from 1,235 fps to 1,300 fps, with this particular load tuned for peak consistency in clay target shooting and hunting applications.
