Remington Nitro 27 Target Shotshells 12 ga 2-3/4 in 1-1/8 oz #8 1235 fps 100/ct
Remington Nitro 27 Target Shotshells in 12 gauge deliver the consistency trap and sporting clays shooters demand. Built around a 1-1/8 oz #8 shot load traveling at 1235 fps, these 2-3/4 inch shells are engineered to produce predictable patterns and reliable performance through every target presentation, whether you're working handicap distances or taking fast-moving birds. The improved powder formulation keeps recoil manageable so you stay composed through a long round or tournament day, which matters when every shot counts toward your score.
Trap shooters have trusted Remington ammunition at the Grand American and other premier competitions for decades, and that heritage shows in field performance. The Nitro 27 line strikes the balance serious shooters need: enough velocity to reach targets downrange, uniform shot placement, and the kind of reliability that lets you focus on your swing instead of wondering what the gun will do next. Whether you're practicing before a registered event or pushing your limit distance, these shells perform consistently box after box.
This 100-count pack means you'll have enough for a full practice session or tournament without the constant resupply run. The #8 shot size is the competition standard for trap and works equally well on doves when you're between clay events.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Remington Nitro 27 shells good for trap shooting?
Yes—they're specifically designed for trap and handicap shooting. The 1235 fps velocity and #8 shot load are standard for competition, and Remington has a long track record at premier trap events like the Grand American.
What's the recoil like compared to other target loads?
The improved powder loading in the Nitro 27 line reduces felt recoil while keeping velocity high, so you stay fresher through a long round. This matters on busy shoot days when fatigue affects your accuracy.
Can I use these shells for dove hunting?
Yes. The #8 shot size works well on doves, and 1235 fps provides adequate range for typical hunting distances.
Will 2-3/4 inch shells work in my shotgun?
The Nitro 27 shells are 2-3/4 inches long and standard for 12 gauge shotguns that accept that length. Check your firearm's chamber marking to confirm compatibility—some guns are 3-inch magnum only and won't accept 2-3/4 inch shells.
