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

If you're serious about clay shooting, Challenger Ammo First Class target loads deliver the consistency and reliability that separates good days at the range from great ones. These 12-gauge 2-3/4" shells are loaded with #8 lead shot at 1250 fps, designed to punch clean patterns downrange without the flinch-inducing recoil of heavier loads. Whether you're working on your technique, running a competitive round, or just putting in volume on the clays, a 250-round case keeps you shooting longer between supply runs.

The engineering here is straightforward: high-antimony lead shot holds its form through the air for denser, more predictable patterns, while clean-burning powder and consistent primers mean you're not troubleshooting ignition problems when you should be focusing on your swing. These loads cycle reliably in semi-auto and pump-action shotguns, so you can trust them whether you're swapping between guns or staying with your favorite scattergun all day.

The plastic hulls are fully reloadable, which matters if you're the type who sees empty hulls as raw material rather than trash. Made in Canada with actual ballistic testing behind them, these aren't bargain-basement rounds—they're built for the shooter who values repeatability and wants ammunition that performs the same way on shot 50 as it does on shot 1.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shells work in my shotgun?

Challenger First Class 12-gauge 2-3/4" loads cycle reliably in semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns. If you shoot an over-under or side-by-side, confirm your gun accepts 2-3/4" shells before ordering.

What's the difference between #8 shot and other sizes?

#8 shot is the standard for clay target shooting. It strikes a balance between pellet count (for denser patterns) and individual pellet energy, making it ideal for competitive and practice shooting at typical clay distances.

Can I reload these hulls?

Yes. The plastic hulls are fully reloadable, so if you're already set up to load your own ammunition, you can reload these cases multiple times before they wear out.
