Frequently Asked Questions

Will these 28 gauge shells work in my shotgun?

Fiocchi VIP Heavy loads are standard 2.75" shells. They will chamber in any 28 gauge shotgun rated for 2.75" ammunition. Always verify your gun's chamber length before shooting.

What's the difference between VIP Heavy and standard 28 gauge target loads?

VIP Heavy loads carry a 3/4 oz shot charge at 1300 fps. This heavier payload and higher velocity provide denser patterns and more energy downrange compared to lighter sub-gauge loads, making them valuable for competitive shooters breaking birds at the edges of the pattern.

Is #8 shot the right choice for clay targets?

#8 shot is a popular choice for competitive clay shooting. The smaller pellet size produces a tight, even pattern suitable for the distances and target presentations typical in trap, skeet, and sporting clays. For your specific discipline and shooting distances, confirm that #8 is appropriate for your competition rules.

How many boxes do I need for a practice session?

That depends on how much you shoot. Each box contains 25 rounds. Most competitive shooters burn through multiple boxes in a practice session, so consider stocking several boxes at once.
