Aguila 1CHB1282 12 Gauge Target Load Competition Ammo - 2.75" 1 1/8 oz 7.5 Shot, 25 Rounds/Box, 10 Boxes/Case

Aguila 1CHB1282 12 gauge target load competition ammo is built for shooters who spend serious time at the clay course. This 2.75" shell pairs a 1 1/8 oz payload of 7.5 shot with a consistent 1150 ft/sec velocity—the kind of predictable performance that lets you focus on your form and your score, not wonder what the gun will do. Whether you're working on your swing-through technique or pushing for a better average at the next event, consistent ammunition removes a variable from the equation.

Competition clay shooting rewards precision, and Aguila has engineered this load to deliver it. The 7.5 shot size is a proven choice for target work—dense enough to break clays reliably at typical range distances, but sized to let you pattern your gun efficiently. At 1150 feet per second, the load generates enough velocity to get the job done without unnecessary recoil pounding you after a day of shooting. That matters when you're trying to stay sharp through round after round.

The box count makes practice and competition practical. You get 25 rounds per box, and a case holds 10 boxes, so you can stock up for a season of serious shooting without drowning in packaging. Reload at the range or clinic, keep your workflow smooth, and get back on the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What 12 gauge shotguns will cycle this ammunition?

The 2.75" shell length is the standard for modern 12 gauge shotguns. Your semi-auto, pump, or break-action will handle it as long as it's a standard 12 gauge (not a 20 gauge or other gauge). If your shotgun is labeled for 3" or 3.5" shells, it will still chamber and fire 2.75" ammo—that just means it's compatible with longer shells too. Always verify your shotgun's manual or stamping to confirm gauge.

Why is 7.5 shot used for clay target competition?

The 7.5 shot size delivers enough pellets in a dense pattern to break clay targets reliably at typical shooting distances (15–35 yards), while the pellet count stays high enough to give you margin for error in your lead and gun mount. It's the standard for trap and sporting clays because it balances energy, pattern density, and shooter feedback across a wide range of target presentations.

How many shells do I need for a case?

Each case contains 250 rounds total: 10 boxes of 25 rounds each. That's a full day's worth for most competitive shooters, or enough for several practice sessions, depending on your schedule and discipline.

Will this ammo work in my semi-automatic shotgun?

Yes—provided your shotgun is a standard 12 gauge and not restricted to a specific shell length (check your owner's manual or barrel marking). The 2.75" length is the most common and is compatible with nearly all modern 12 gauge semi-autos, pumps, and single-shots.
