Description
The B&P Competition One 12ga Light 8 Shot load gives 12 gauge shooters a true competition-grade target shell. Baschieri & Pellagri loads 7/8 ounce of #8 lead shot into a 2-3/4 inch hull at a rated 1160 feet per second, delivering consistent patterns on skeet, trap and sporting clays targets. The Competition One line features the company Gordon System technology, designed to lessen felt recoil so you can shoot longer with less fatigue. The light 7/8 ounce payload makes it one of the softest-shooting 12 gauge target loads you can buy.

- Made in Italy by Baschieri & Pellagri
Baschieri & Pellagri has made shotshells in Italy since 1885, and its Competition One line is a favorite at trap and skeet clubs across the country. Baschieri and pellagri 12 gauge Competition One shells are sold by the box and by the case, and buying from the same lot keeps your patterns and timing consistent from week to week.
Pattern your shotgun at 20 and 30 yards to see how your chokes perform with this load. Store shotshells in a cool, dry place in their original boxes, and clean your barrel after long sessions to remove wad fouling. A 25-round box matches a standard round of trap or skeet, so it is easy to plan for league night.
If you need more reach for handicap trap or long sporting targets, step up to a 1 ounce or 1-1/8 ounce Competition One load. Many shooters practice with light loads and switch to heavier shells for competition. Pattern your shotgun at 25 and 35 yards to see how your chokes perform.
Some semi-automatic shotguns need a certain amount of recoil energy to cycle reliably, so test a few light loads in your gun before buying in quantity. Most gas-operated and over-under shotguns handle 7/8 ounce loads without trouble.

Why Choose 12 Gauge Target Loads
A 7/8 ounce 12 gauge load gives you the pattern of a 12 gauge with recoil closer to a 20 gauge. These light 12 gauge loads are a favorite for high-volume practice, long sporting clays courses and shooters who are sensitive to recoil.
Number 8 shot offers a good balance of pellet count and energy for skeet, 16-yard trap and many sporting clays presentations. Combined with the Gordon System hull, this makes for low recoil target loads that help you stay fresh through hundreds of targets.
Many instructors recommend light loads like this for new shooters, since reducing recoil helps build confidence and good habits.
Skeet, trap and sporting clays shooters, new shooters and anyone who wants the softest-shooting 12 gauge target load will get dependable performance from this 25-round box. Always confirm your shotgun is chambered for 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge shells, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
