    Anyone shooting the new Master Class handicap 1235fpf loads? What do you think about them. I bought 25 flats and I'm not so sure that I like them. What do you think?

    I’ve only shot a few boxes but liked them.

    someone else did shot testing and the masterclass shot tested “hard”

    I wish I could find more of them near me to try further

    I’ve shot a few flats of them and also liked them- a few of my sporting clays buddies also love them.

    I shot these at a trap competition today and they definitely hit harder and crush targets. They are a little pricier than regular Federal and I got a bunch on sale during Black Friday.

    Federal Master Class is a competent shell, but it has a specific personality that doesn't mesh with every shooter's feel and expectations. It's not junk, but it might not be your holy grail. Your hesitation is valid and shared by others. It's a shell that does well on paper (soft, clean, consistent) but can fall short in the intangible shootability factor that makes a shell click for a particular shooter.

    I have shot them all winter. I like them. I think I've shot about 5-6 flats of them.
