The Federal Premium GMT12178 paper wad ammunition has earned its reputation among competitive shooters for maintaining consistency shot after shot, box after box.

Reliability under pressure is non-negotiable in competitive shooting, and Federal Premium delivers without compromise. Each round undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure proper ignition, consistent velocity, and reliable feeding through various shotgun platforms. The match-grade primers fire instantly and reliably, even in rapid-fire competition scenarios where split-second timing matters. Federal’s manufacturing standards mean you can load your magazine with complete confidence, knowing each of the 25 rounds will perform identically.
