Federal Master Class 12 Gauge target shells (brand part no. MC12HC75) are built for shooters who need the same shell to perform the same way, round after round, box after box. Federal Ammunition engineers this line to Master Class competition standards, loading a full 1-1/8 ounce of #7.5 shot behind a 2-3/4 inch hull so the pattern stays dense and predictable on fast-breaking clays. It is a straightforward, no-surprises target load for the shooter who wants to focus on the target, not the ammunition. In shotgun shells built for the clay range, this is the shell that disappears into a good round.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12, matching the most common target and field guns on any range.
• The shell length is 2-3/4 inches, the standard length for target and field guns alike.
• The payload weighs 1-1/8 ounce, a full-weight charge for consistent breaks at typical clay distances.
• The shot size is #7.5, a small, high-pellet-count shot that builds a dense pattern for fast-moving targets.
• The smaller pellet count from #7.5 shot means more pellets per load, tightening pattern density at typical station distances.
• Each box holds 25 rounds, sized for a standard round of trap, skeet, or sporting clays.
• The load is built to Federal’s Master Class target standard, aimed at the shell-to-shell consistency competition shooters expect.
• The cost per round runs about $0.51, keeping high-volume practice days affordable.
• A box ships at roughly 2.4 pounds, useful for gauging case weight when ordering several boxes at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

What clay disciplines does this shell suit? The 2-3/4 inch, 1-1/8oz, #7.5 shot combination is a standard target load suited to trap, skeet, and sporting clays.

Why #7.5 shot instead of #8? #7.5 carries slightly more pellet energy than #8 while still delivering a dense pattern, a common middle-ground choice for clay shooters.
