Fiocchi 20SLR7 Target Steel Target 20 Gauge 2.75" 7/8 oz 7 Shot 25 Per Box/ 10 Cs

The Fiocchi 20 gauge 2.75" steel target load is a reliable, cost-effective choice for clay shooting, practice, and steel-shot-compliant hunting scenarios. Built by Fiocchi—an Italian ammunition maker with deep roots in shotshell manufacturing—these rounds pair a modest 7/8 oz steel payload with #7 shot, delivering the pattern density and velocity needed for wingshooting practice without the expense of premium upland or waterfowl loads. The 2.75" hull is standard 20-gauge length, fitting any modern 20-gauge shotgun certified for steel shot. Twenty-five rounds per box make this a practical volume for a trip to the range or a casual shoot with friends.

Steel shot is mandatory in many regions for waterfowl and migratory bird hunting, and this load meets that requirement while doubling as a target round for shooters who prefer to practice with ammunition matching their hunting setup. The #7 shot size strikes a balance—small enough for tight patterns on distant clays, large enough to retain energy downrange. Fiocchi's consistent quality control means you'll get predictable ballistics box to box, which matters when you're working on your swing or zeroing technique.

Whether you're a competitive clay shooter looking for a no-frills practice round, a dove or early-season waterfowl hunter who wants to train with the same shot type you'll hunt with, or simply someone who shoots steel by habit or regulation, this load delivers. It won't break the bank, and it shoots clean through modern shotguns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use steel shot in my 20-gauge shotgun?

Yes, as long as your shotgun is modern and certified for steel shot—the vast majority of 20-gauge shotguns manufactured in the last 30+ years are. Steel is harder than lead and can damage older or specialized barrels. Check your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer if you're unsure. Most modern shotguns have no issue running steel without modification.

Is this load suitable for both clay shooting and waterfowl hunting?

Yes. The 7/8 oz #7 steel load is effective for both clay targets and early-season duck or goose hunting in steel-shot zones. Many hunters train with the same ammunition they hunt with, and this load bridges both uses well. That said, the #7 size is on the smaller end for waterfowl—check your local regulations and consider shot size recommendations for the game you're pursuing.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 25 rounds of loaded ammunition, ready to shoot. This is a factory-loaded product—no powder, primers, or components are included.

How does the #7 shot size compare to other options?

Number 7 shot is smaller and denser than #6 or #5, producing tighter patterns at typical shotgun ranges. It's ideal for clay targets and lighter game at moderate distance. Larger shot sizes (#6, #5) retain energy better at longer range but produce more open patterns. Smaller steel shot (#8, #9) is less common and penetrates less. For general 20-gauge target and light hunting use, #7 is a solid middle ground.
