Challenger Ammo Steel Load 12 Gauge 2-3/4'' 1-1/8 Oz #7 Steel Shot 250/Case

Challenger Ammo Steel Load is a 12 gauge shotgun round built for hunters and clay shooters who need non-toxic performance without compromise. Loaded with #7 steel shot in a standard 2-3/4" shell, each round carries 1-1/8 oz of shot—enough for clean patterns on upland game and clay targets alike. Whether you're working over dogs in the field or running rounds downrange, these shells deliver consistent ignition and reliable cycling, all while keeping you compliant in lead-restricted zones.

Built in Canada under strict quality control, Challenger Steel Load ammunition uses clean-burning powder designed to minimize fouling in your barrel and action. The reloadable plastic hulls add real value to your shooting dollar, and the consistent primer quality means you're getting the same reliable ignition from the first round to the last round in this 250-round case. Steel shot demands more from a shotgun and a load—Challenger's ballistically tested formula meets both demands.

If you're an upland hunter switching to steel for waterfowl season, or a clay sports shooter looking for a cost-effective practice round in a non-toxic format, this load scales from casual range days to serious field work. Grab a case and you've got a full season's worth of shooting, all from one trusted brand.
