Description
The NSI Nobel Speed 12ga 8 Shot shell is a 12 gauge, 2-3/4 inch load with 1 oz of #8 lead shot at a rated 1300 fps. It comes 25 rounds per box. NSI is the brand of Nobel Sport Italia, a European maker of shotshells and ammunition components.
NSI Nobel Speed 12ga 8 Shot Overview
NSI Nobel Speed is a one ounce target load with a brisk velocity. A faster shell reduces the lead you need on crossing targets, which many shooters like on sporting clays courses and in skeet where targets cross quickly. The one ounce payload keeps recoil reasonable even with the extra speed, so it stays comfortable through a full course.
How Nobel Speed Works
The shell uses a one ounce charge of lead target shot driven faster than a typical one ounce practice load. A one-piece wad protects the shot column and helps keep patterns even. Nobel Sport makes its own primers and powders, which helps it hold consistent velocity from shell to shell.
Shot Size and Use
#8 is a classic target size with a dense pattern for trap and skeet. #8 suits skeet and close to medium sporting targets. Pattern your gun with this load, because every barrel and choke combination reacts a little differently.
Choke Notes
For trap, many shooters use modified or improved modified chokes, while skeet and close sporting targets call for skeet or improved cylinder. Pattern the load with your gun and adjust from there.
Chamber and Recoil
Fire this shell only in 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2-3/4 inch shells or longer. Recoil is in line with other loads of this gauge and payload. A well-fitted gun, a good recoil pad and a consistent mount keep long days comfortable.
Rules and Regulations
Lead target loads are not legal where non-toxic shot is required, including migratory waterfowl hunting and some public ranges. Check your range and state rules before you shoot.
Choosing the Right Load
For most clay shooting, a 1 to 1-1/8 ounce load of #7-1/2, #8 or #9 lead covers trap, skeet and sporting clays. Lighter loads reduce recoil and fatigue, while faster loads help on longer or crossing targets. Many shooters keep two loads on hand, a softer one for practice and a faster one for competition, and switch as the course or the yardage demands.
Patterning Tips
Shoot a few shells at a large paper target from the distance you expect to shoot. Look at how evenly the pellets spread, check for gaps, and note where the center of the pattern lands compared with your point of aim. Trying more than one choke is the quickest way to find what works best with your gun.
