Deep Dive

Overview

This 12 gauge ammo is intended for clay target shooting, training, and competition use. It is well suited for shooters looking for 12 gauge bulk ammo that supports consistent performance during extended sessions. The 7/8 oz payload offers a manageable shooting profile that helps maintain control through repeated shots. #8 shot is widely used across skeet, trap, and sporting clays due to its balanced pattern characteristics. With a muzzle velocity of 1160 fps, this target shooting ammo supports smooth cycling and predictable performance.

History and Development

Baschieri & Pellagri has been manufacturing shotshells since 1885, building its reputation around precision loading, in-house powder development, plus purpose-specific product design. The Competition One line was developed to provide a versatile option for both training plus competition use across a wide range of shooting disciplines. The lineup includes multiple gauges, payloads, plus shot sizes to match different shooting needs. This reflects B&P’s emphasis on application-specific design with consistent performance across its shotshell offerings.
