Challenger Ammo First Class 12 Gauge 2-3/4'' 1Oz #8 Shot 1150 Fps 250/Case

Challenger Ammo First Class 12 gauge target loads deliver the consistency you need for a day at the trap or skeet range. Built with #8 lead shot in a 2-3/4" shell, these rounds are engineered to print tight, predictable patterns shot after shot—the foundation of good scores and solid fundamentals. Whether you're working on your swing, dialing in technique, or pushing through a competitive round, reliable ammunition is non-negotiable.

These shells use high-antimony lead shot designed to hold together through the air, producing denser patterns and better downrange performance than softer alternatives. The clean-burning powder and consistent primers ensure dependable ignition every time you pull the trigger, so you're focused on the bird or clay, not worrying about a dud. The fully reloadable plastic hulls let you reload for years, which means less waste and lower cost per round over time—a smart move for shooters who run high volume.

Challenger First Class ammunition is manufactured in Canada under rigorous ballistic testing and quality control protocols. The 1150 fps muzzle velocity is optimized for the 12 gauge platform and works reliably in semi-auto and pump-action shotguns. At 250 rounds per case, you've got enough to break clays, train, or compete without constantly restocking.
