Challenger Ammo Sporting Clay 12 Ga 2-3/4'' 1-1/8Oz #8 Shot 1235 Fps 250/Case

Challenger Ammo Sporting Clay 12 Ga 2-3/4" ammunition in #8 shot is built for shooters who spend serious time on the clay course without serious budget burn. Whether you're working the skeet field, trap house, or mixed-game sporting clays course, this load—a 1-1/8 oz shot charge moving at 1235 fps—delivers the consistency and pattern density clay breakers expect. At 250 rounds per case, you get the volume competitive and recreational shooters demand, with reliable ignition and manageable recoil that lets you stay sharp through a full day of breaking targets.

Challenger has engineered these shells around what actually works on clays: high-antimony lead shot that tightens patterns and chips targets cleanly, clean-burning proprietary powder that keeps your gun and chokes running fouling-free, and a one-piece plastic wad designed to maintain shot integrity all the way downrange. The combination of slow-burning powder and consistent primers means no surprises between rounds—every shell performs like the last, so the variable is your gun and your swing, not your ammo.

The fully reloadable plastic hulls add practical value if you're a handloader; they're also a nod to shooters who think beyond a single trip to the range. Made in Canada under strict quality control and ballistic testing, Challenger punches well above the typical budget-ammo price point without the marketing markup of premium brands. If you're stocking up for a league season or just logging serious practice, this is mid-grade clay ammo that won't let you down.
