Challenger Ammo First Class Sporting Clay 20 Ga 2-3/4'' 7/8Oz #8 250/Case

Challenger First Class Sporting Clay 20 gauge ammunition delivers the shot consistency and velocity you need for competitive clay shooting. Built around a 2-3/4" hull loaded with 7/8 oz of #8 lead shot, this 250-round case gives you the volume serious trap and skeet shooters require without breaking your reloading budget or supply chain. The #8 pellet size strikes the balance between pattern density and energy retention at typical clay ranges, making it a reliable choice for high-volume practice days and registered shoots alike.

These shells are engineered with high-antimony lead shot—a harder alloy that resists deformation in the gun and produces tighter, more uniform patterns downrange. That consistency matters whether you're working on your lead picture or competing for points. The loaded round features a one-piece plastic wad that controls shot column separation, so you get the pattern you expect, shot to shot. Clean-burning powder and reliable primers keep ignition predictable across your gun and your entire case, reducing variables when you're trying to dial in your technique.

A 250-case order is sized for the serious clays enthusiast who shoots regularly—enough volume to work through a full weekend or tournament without juggling multiple boxes. If you're running a 20 gauge semi-auto and want ammo built to cycle reliably while delivering the ballistics competitive shooting demands, these loads are worth running through your pattern board.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to use a 250-round case of Challenger First Class shells?

This volume is ideal if you shoot clays regularly—enough for a full weekend of trap, skeet, or 5-stand without rationing. Many shooters buy by the case to lock in supply and maintain consistent practice rounds throughout a season.

Will these shells work in my 20 gauge semi-automatic shotgun?

Yes. Challenger First Class Sporting Clay shells are loaded to cycle reliably in semi-auto shotguns. The consistent powder charge and primer reliability support dependable function across different platforms.

What does high-antimony shot do differently?

High-antimony is a harder lead alloy that resists deformation as shot moves through the barrel and wad. Harder shot holds its shape better, which produces tighter, more uniform patterns—important when you're trying to break targets at distance or in competition.

Is #8 shot the right choice for clay shooting?

Yes. #8 pellets offer the classic balance for clay targets: enough pellets per ounce to build dense, effective patterns at typical clays ranges, while still carrying enough energy to break targets decisively. It's the standard choice for trap and skeet.
