Description

Federal Action Shotgun 12ga 3 Gun Load shotshells are purpose built for 3-gun and practical shotgun competition. Each 2 3/4 inch shell carries 1 1/8 ounces of #7.5 lead shot at about 1,235 feet per second, a velocity Federal chose to balance knockdown power on steel with fast, controllable shooting. A roll crimp and plated steel head help these shells feed reliably from both tube and box magazine shotguns. This listing is a 200 round case.

Built to Run Hard on the Clock
3-gun shotgun stages punish unreliable ammunition. Shells get loaded fast, carried on caddies and belts, and cycled at speed through semi-autos and magazine fed guns. Federal designed Action Shotgun loads with a roll crimp that adds rigidity to the shell mouth, so rounds hold their shape and feed smoothly instead of hanging up during reloads.
The plated steel head adds strength and resists corrosion, helping with feeding and extraction when your gun is hot and dirty late in a match. That consistency means fewer malfunctions and more time spent shooting targets.
At 1,235 fps, a 1 1/8 ounce charge of #7.5 shot hits steel poppers and plates hard enough to knock them down reliably, while recoil stays manageable for quick follow up shots across a long array of targets.

Field Notes and 3-Gun Tips
Use Federal Action Shotgun 12ga 3 Gun Load shells for 3-gun, multigun, practical shotgun and steel challenge style shotgun stages. They also work well for clay practice when you want to train with the same shell you compete with.
Test feeding in your exact shotgun and loading gear before a match. Run shells through your caddies, side saddles and quad load blocks to make sure everything fits and releases cleanly.
Keep your shotgun’s magazine tube and follower clean, and lube the action according to the manufacturer. Hot, dirty guns benefit most from reliable ammunition, but they still need maintenance.
Store the case in a cool, dry place and pull only what you need for each match so the rest stays protected.
If you compete in 3-gun or practical shotgun and want a shell designed to feed reliably on the clock, Federal Action Shotgun 12ga 3 Gun Load shells are a superb choice. Add side saddles or reload strips to keep extra shells ready.
Reload speed often decides 3-gun shotgun stages. Practice loading two or four shells at a time with your preferred technique, using the same shells you plan to run in competition. Shells with consistent dimensions and rigid crimps make those techniques work every time, so practicing with this load builds habits you can trust under pressure.
Buying Federal Action Shotgun 12ga 3 Gun Load shells by the case keeps your competition supply consistent from match to match. Lot to lot uniformity means your pattern, recoil and point of impact stay familiar, which helps your timing and confidence on every stage. Splitting a case with a shooting partner is also a common way to keep costs down while staying on the same load.
Always wear eye and ear protection, follow range commands, and keep your muzzle in a safe direction while loading on the move. Safe gun handling is the foundation of every good match result.
