Federal's 2026 catalog distinguishes these payload and velocity specifications. Its one-ounce, 1,180 fps entry is TG121, not TGL12. This table is not an exhaustive configuration list or proof of current stock. Confirm package counts from the actual retailer listing.
About Federal Top Gun 12 Gauge
The listed Top Gun configurations are 12-gauge, 2-3/4-inch target shells. Shot size, payload weight, and published velocity identify different configurations. These attributes do not establish a preferred load, guaranteed pattern, or price ranking.
Standard vs Light Loads
TG12 and TGL12 both use a 1-1/8-ounce payload in the listed configurations. Their published velocities differ: 1,200 fps for TG12 and 1,145 fps for TGL12. A payload or velocity specification does not guarantee felt recoil, reduced fatigue, or target-breaking performance in an individual shotgun.
How It Compares
Top Gun, Winchester AA, Remington STS, Remington Gun Club, and Rio are distinct product lines. Current listing prices and shell counts determine ammunition cost per shell. Known shipping costs are needed for a delivered comparison. A brand or package size does not establish which listing costs less.
Comparing listings
A retailer case may combine multiple manufacturer packages. Its actual shell count supplies the cost-per-shell divisor; a larger case does not necessarily cost less per shell. Manufacturer guidance governs shotgun compatibility and storage. Event rules determine permitted shot sizes. The configurations above do not describe every Top Gun offering.
