Challenger Ammo First Class Trg Ld 12Ga 2-3/4'' 1-1/8Oz #7.5 1250Fps 250/Case

Challenger Ammo First Class 12-gauge shotgun ammunition delivers reliable, consistent performance on the clay course and in the field. These 2-3/4" shells are loaded with 1-1/8 ounces of #7.5 shot at 1250 fps, a classic combination for trap, skeet, and upland hunting. Built with quality-control testing that measures pressures and velocities in a modern ballistic lab, every round is designed to fire consistently from shot to shot—exactly what you need when your score depends on it.

The hull is fully reloadable plastic, making these rounds budget-friendly for shooters who reload. Inside, a one-piece plastic wad (available in single or double-piston designs) helps reduce shot deformation in flight, translating to tighter patterns and more reliable hits. The shot itself is hard, antimony-rich lead that resists deformation under the stress of acceleration, preserving the round shape that means better penetration and denser patterns downrange.

Challenger's ammunition philosophy centers on proven powders and reliable primers. The slow-burning powders they use keep recoil light while maintaining velocity, so you stay on target for the next shot. Those sure-fire primers are tested for consistency, eliminating the guesswork and hangfires that waste your time and your score. A tubular reducer in the shell boosts impact performance without compromising the shot's flight characteristics.

This 250-round case is ideal for regular trap and skeet shooters, hunters breaking in a new gun, or anyone who wants dependable, no-nonsense ammunition at a fair value. Made in a facility equipped with modern testing and quality-assurance systems, Challenger ammunition has earned trust among shooters who can't afford duds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Challenger Ammo good for trap and skeet shooting?

Yes. The #7.5 shot size and light recoil make these shells well-suited to clay target sports. The consistent powder charges and primers support the uniform performance you need for competitive scores.

Can I reload these shells?

Yes. The plastic hulls are fully reloadable, making them an economical choice for shooters who reload their own ammunition.

What's the shot composition?

The shot is hard lead with a high antimony content, which resists deformation during acceleration and in flight for better pattern density and penetration.

How much does recoil compare to other target loads?

Challenger uses slow-burning powders designed to produce very light recoil while maintaining the 1250 fps velocity, helping you stay on target between shots.
