Overview
Federal Premium HOA208 shotgun shells are engineered for the demanding requirements of elite trap, skeet, and sporting clays competitors. This load integrates advanced components to deliver predictable performance and facilitate efficient reloading, critical for high-volume competitive scenarios. The design focuses on robust construction and precise component integration to achieve consistent target fragmentation.
Key Features
Optimized Payload Delivery
The HOA208 utilizes a hard, high-antimony lead payload in conjunction with Federal’s exclusive one-piece Podium wad. This system is designed to maintain shot integrity throughout the barrel, mitigating deformation and producing consistent, dense patterns for effective target engagement at competitive distances. The wad’s design contributes to predictable shot dispersion, optimizing hit probability.
Enhanced Reloadability
This shell incorporates a solid brass head and a tapered, one-piece hull construction. This material selection and form factor are engineered to mitigate common reloading issues, such as crimp failure and case distortion. The robust design supports multiple reloads, providing economic efficiency and extended hull life for competitive shooters.
Consistent Performance
Each HOA208 round is manufactured to precise specifications, ensuring uniform ballistic output shot-to-shot. This consistency is fundamental for repeatable performance in competitive disciplines where precise lead and pattern density are critical. The controlled manufacturing process minimizes variations in velocity and pattern, providing a reliable foundation for shooter performance.
