Some clay shooters prefer #7.5 shot for longer targets, especially on trap handicap lines and sporting clays courses with crossing birds at distance. This listing is Remington Gun Club 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1-1/8 ounce #7.5 shot ammo, MPN 20244, sold as a 250 round case.
Remington rates this load at 1,145 fps. The larger #7.5 pellets carry more energy per pellet than #8 or #9 shot, which helps break hard-faced clays and longer targets cleanly. The trade-off is a slightly less dense pattern, so many shooters use #7.5 for the farther stations and switch to smaller shot up close. It is also a common size for dove and early-season upland birds where lead is permitted, though the main use here is clay target practice.
This ammunition fits 12 gauge shotguns with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including over-under target guns such as the Browning 725 and Beretta 694, single-barrel trap guns, and semi-automatics like the Remington V3 and 1100, Beretta A400, and Benelli Montefeltro. A common question is whether #7.5 or #8 shot is better for trap. Many shooters use #8 at 16 yards and #7.5 for handicap or long sporting targets. Another common question is whether 2-3/4 inch shells work in a 3 inch chamber. Yes. A shorter shell is safe in a longer chamber.
Remington 20244 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. This case ships as 10 boxes of 25 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 12 gauge #7.5 Gun Club. Keeping a case on hand means you are ready for league nights and weekend shoots without hunting for shells, and the matching lot gives you consistent patterns from your choke. Pattern your gun at the distances you shoot most so you know how this shot size performs before match day.
