B&P Competition One 20 Gauge Ammo 2 3/4" 7/8 oz #8 Lead Shot - 20B78CP8

B&P Competition One 20 Gauge Ammo 2 3/4" 7/8 oz #8 Lead Shot - 20B78CP8

The B&P Competition One is a 20 gauge target shotshell loaded with 7/8 oz of lead #8 shot at 1210 fps. Designed for clay target training and competition, this 2 3/4" shell is built around a pre-cut wad for consistent pattern deployment and a clean-burning powder charge that holds up across extended shooting sessions. The #8 shot size delivers a higher pellet count than #7.5, making it a practical choice for skeet and closer sporting clays presentations where pattern density is the priority. This load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, with bulk case orders shipping free through Target Sports USA.

Features and Specifications:

• 7/8 oz #8 Lead Shot: A standard 20 gauge payload loaded with #8 shot, delivering a higher pellet count than #7.5 for denser patterns at close to mid-range clay presentations.
• 1210 fps Velocity: A consistent velocity level suited for competition and extended training sessions across 20 gauge clay target disciplines.
• Pre-Cut Wad Design: The wad opens consistently during flight to help maintain uniform, predictable patterns downrange.
• Clean-Burning B&P Powder: The powder formulation is designed to minimize fouling while maintaining consistent velocities throughout a shooting session.
• Purpose-Built Training Load: Each component is selected for consistency across long sessions, making this a practical choice for 20 gauge shooters who train regularly.
• Case of 250 Rounds: This load ships in cases of 250, packed as 10 boxes of 25 rounds each.

Deep Dive

Overview

This 20 gauge ammo is intended for clay target training and competition, including skeet, trap, and sporting clays. The #8 shot size produces a denser pattern than #7.5 from the same 7/8 oz payload, making it a stronger fit for skeet and closer sporting clays presentations where pattern density at short distances is the priority. The 1210 fps velocity keeps recoil manageable across long training days, reducing fatigue for shooters who put significant round counts through their gun. Shooters looking for a reliable 20 gauge training load that prioritizes pattern density at close presentations will find the Competition One a practical fit.

History and Development

Baschieri & Pellagri has been manufacturing shotshells since 1885, building its identity around precision loading, in-house powder development, and purpose-specific product design. The Competition One line was developed as B&P's dedicated training and competition offering, covering a wide range of gauges, payloads, shot sizes, and velocities to fit the needs of shooters across multiple clay target disciplines. The company develops its own powder formulations, maintaining direct control over burn rate and fouling characteristics across its product lines. That focus on component-level engineering has been central to the B&P brand throughout its history.

Common Questions and FAQs

• What clay target disciplines is this load best suited for?
  The Competition One 20 gauge 7/8 oz #8 load is best suited for skeet and closer sporting clays presentations where a denser pattern at shorter distances is the priority.
• What does the pre-cut wad do?
  The pre-cut wad is designed to open consistently as it exits the muzzle, helping the shot charge deploy in a uniform pattern.
• Will this load cycle reliably in semi-automatic 20 gauge shotguns?
  At 1210 fps with a 7/8 oz payload, this load should cycle reliably in most semi-automatic 20 gauge platforms. Shooters should confirm their specific platform requirements before using this shell in competition.
• How is this load packaged?
  This load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, consisting of 10 boxes of 25 rounds each.

• Competition / Target

Why It Stands Out:

The B&P Competition One 20 Gauge 7/8 oz #8 Shot is a purpose-built training load for clay shooters who prefer the 20 gauge platform and want a denser pattern option at close presentations. The pre-cut wad and clean-burning powder deliver consistent performance across skeet, trap, and sporting clays. Packaged in cases of 250, it is a practical option for 20 gauge shooters who train regularly and want a reliable competition shell built to perform across long range sessions.
