Federal Gold Medal Paper shotshells are premium 12 gauge target loads intended for clay-target and sporting applications. Each round uses a paper hull with a high-quality brass head and a two-piece SoftCell wad designed to reduce perceived recoil and help produce more uniform patterns. The 1-ounce lead payload with #8 shot is configured for typical clay-target distances and patterning needs.
Manufacturer materials also include a statement that these loads do not qualify for Olympic or International competitions; see notes for a discrepancy between source statements about international competition suitability.
