Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of Federal's Gold Medal Grand shotshells?

The primary benefit of Federal's Gold Medal Grand shotshells is their ability to significantly reduce felt recoil. This is achieved through an innovative two-piece wad with SoftCell technology, which cushions the shot and delays compression, leading to a softer impulse on the shooter.

How does the two-piece wad in Gold Medal Grand shotshells reduce recoil?

The two-piece wad in Gold Medal Grand shotshells creates an air pocket that acts as a cushioning chamber. This chamber absorbs energy and delays the compression process, meaning the force is delivered to the shooter's shoulder later and with less intensity, thus reducing felt recoil.

What other performance improvements do Federal Gold Medal Grand shotshells offer?

Beyond recoil reduction, Federal Gold Medal Grand shotshells offer improved shot hardness, more reliable ignition, and excellent reloadability. The unique wad design also contributes to tighter, more uniform shot patterns.

Are Federal Gold Medal Grand shotshells suitable for competitive shooting?

Yes, Federal Gold Medal shotshells have a long history of use in competitive shooting disciplines like trap, skeet, and sporting clays, having broken records and won honors. The Gold Medal Grand's advancements in recoil reduction and pattern consistency are designed to further enhance performance in these sports.
