Description
The NSI Target Low Recoil 12ga 1 oz shell is a 12 gauge, 2-3/4 inch load with 1 oz of #7-1/2 lead shot at a rated 1200 fps. It comes 25 rounds per box. NSI is the brand of Nobel Sport Italia, a European maker of shotshells and ammunition components.
NSI Target Low Recoil 12ga 1 oz Overview
NSI Target Low Recoil trims the payload to one ounce and keeps velocity moderate, which noticeably softens the push of a 12 gauge. Less recoil means less fatigue and flinching, so it is a good choice for new shooters, smaller shooters and anyone putting a lot of shells through a gun in one day. It works well for trap, skeet and sporting clays at normal target distances, and for long practice sessions.
How Target Low Recoil Works
A one ounce load of lead target shot carries less weight than the 1-1/8 ounce loads common in trap, and at a moderate speed that adds up to noticeably less recoil. A one-piece wad protects the shot column for even patterns. Nobel Sport makes its own primers and powders, which helps ignition stay consistent in all kinds of weather.
Shot Size and Use
#7-1/2 is a popular target size that balances pellet count and energy for trap and longer sporting targets. #7-1/2 works for trap and longer 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. With a one ounce payload at a moderate speed, this is one of the softer-shooting 12 gauge loads available.
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.
