Challenger Ammo First Class Trgt Ld 12Ga 2-3/4'' 1-1/8Oz #9 1145 Fps 250/Case

Challenger Ammo First Class Target Load 12 Gauge 2-3/4" shotgun ammunition is built for shooters who want consistent, reliable performance on the clay range or at the trap house. This is a 1-1/8 oz. #9 shot load that travels at 1145 fps, offering the kind of predictable ballistics and tight patterns that competitive shooters and serious clay enthusiasts depend on. Whether you're breaking in for a tournament or putting in training rounds, a 250-round case keeps you stocked for a full day without resupply runs.

The #9 shot is high-antimony lead, which holds its density through the air and delivers denser pellet distribution downrange—the difference between clean breaks and frustrating misses in the clay game. Challenger pairs this with clean-burning powder and consistent primer ignition, so you get the same reliable performance from round one through round 250. The plastic hulls are fully reloadable if you handload, which cuts costs over a full season and appeals to shooters who manage their own ammunition.

These shells are made in Canada and run reliably in semi-auto and pump-action shotguns. If you shoot target loads regularly and value consistency without paying boutique prices, a case of Challenger First Class gives you the velocity, pattern, and recoil characteristics that let you focus on your technique, not your ammunition.
