Challenger Ammo First Class Trgt Ld 12Ga 2-3/4'' 1Oz #8 1200 Fps 250/Case

Challenger Ammo First Class target loads are 12-gauge shotgun ammunition built for shooters who log serious hours at the range. Loaded with a 1-ounce charge of #8 lead shot in 2-3/4" hulls and pushing 1200 feet per second, these rounds deliver the consistency and clean performance clay and target shooters depend on. Whether you're warming up for competition, running practice drills, or just putting rounds downrange, First Class loads are engineered to print tight patterns without surprise recoil spikes or primer flubs that derail a good day.

The #8 shot size works well for targets at typical range distances, and the high-antimony lead construction holds its pattern better than softer shot—important when every target counts. Challenger loads them with clean-burning powder and reliable primers so you spend your focus on your technique, not troubleshooting misfires. The fully reloadable plastic hulls mean you can recycle them, and at 250 rounds per case, you've got enough volume to build real shooting muscle memory without breaking the bank on each session.

These shells run reliably in semi-auto and pump-action shotguns, so whether you're shooting an 1100, a Mossberg, or anything in between, you can count on reliable feeding and function. Made in Canada to strict ballistic standards, Challenger First Class ammunition carries the kind of quality control that competitive shooters and serious clay enthusiasts expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Challenger First Class 12-gauge shells work in my shotgun?
