Challenger Ammo First Class Trgt Ld 12Ga 2-3/4'' 1-1/8Oz #7.5 1145 Fps 250/Cs

Challenger Ammo First Class Target Load 12-gauge shotgun ammunition delivers consistent, affordable performance for clay shooting and range work. Loaded to 1145 feet per second with 1-1/8 ounces of #7.5 shot, this is the kind of workhorse round that lets you focus on your technique without breaking the bank — and the 250-round case means you can stock up for serious practice sessions.

What sets Challenger apart is attention to the details that matter downrange: hard, high-antimony lead shot resists deformation through the barrel, producing denser patterns and more reliable hits. The one-piece plastic wad design (available in single or double piston configurations) protects that shot column and keeps patterns tight. Slow-burning powders are tuned to generate that velocity while keeping recoil manageable — important when you're shooting volume and want to stay sharp shot after shot.

The fully reloadable plastic hull is built for shooters who want to reload their own ammo; it's a genuine cost-saver for frequent clay busters. Quality control is baked in: Challenger uses modern ballistic lab equipment, including pressure transducers and chronograph systems, to verify every batch meets spec. You're getting ammunition that's been tested, not just loaded.

Whether you're running a 12-gauge auto-loader or pump at the trap range, working upland birds, or just putting rounds downrange to stay sharp, Challenger First Class Target Load offers the consistency and value serious shooters expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is #7.5 shot best used for?

#7.5 shot is a popular choice for clay target shooting and light game hunting. The smaller pellets provide a denser pattern, making it easier to break clays and hit fast-moving targets.

Can I reload these shells?

Yes. Challenger loads these rounds in fully reloadable plastic hulls, so you can reload them if you have the equipment and knowledge to do so safely.

What shotguns can I use this ammunition in?

12-gauge ammunition works in any shotgun chambered for 12-gauge (check your owner's manual). The 2-3/4" length is the standard for most 12-gauge shotguns, though you should verify your gun's chamber specifications.

How much recoil does this load produce?

Challenger First Class uses slow-burning powders designed to keep recoil manageable compared to some other target loads, which is especially helpful during high-volume shooting sessions.
