ANOKA, Minnesota – January 15, 2025 – Federal Ammunition announces an all-new shotshell product line: Federal Master Class. This competition-level sporting clay load features a customized Podium wad that extracts peak performance from utilizing Federal’s straight-wall hull, reliable primers, high-antimony lead shot, and select propellant. This product line will be offered in six 12-gauge loads.
“Master Class gives shooters competitively priced loads with top-quality internal components needed to break the most challenging targets in sporting clays and FITASC,” said Federal’s Shotshell Product Line Manager Josh Vickers. “From the unique and attractive blue hull to a new shot sorting process utilized in its loading, this new product line is built to exceed the expectations of all Sporting Clay shooters.”
Master Class features two components—also used in Federal’s Premium products—including a one-piece Podium wad and high-antimony lead shot that balances hardness and density. It’s constructed with a straight-wall hull, inserted plastic base wad, striated tube, and brass-plated steelhead for optimum performance.
Master Class offers a much better option than standard target loads for those who compete in Sporting Clays. It features high-quality components in an ultra-reliable two-piece straight wall hull design. It’s offered in the most popular payloads and velocities for modern Sporting Clays competitions.
Master Class is packaged in 25-count boxes and loaded in six 12-gauge options. It complements Federal’s recently launched Premium High Overall All lineup, which features a one-piece tapered hull and solid brass head for those looking to maximize reloadability.
