12 Ga – 2-3/4″ 1-1/8 oz #8 Shot – Remington Gun Club (20230) – 250 Rounds

Trap and skeet shooters burn through shells by the flat, so a case of a dependable target load is the most practical way to buy. This listing is Remington Gun Club 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1-1/8 ounce #8 lead shot ammo, MPN 20230, sold as a 250 round case.

Remington rates this load at 1,145 fps. That is a common target load velocity that delivers enough energy to break clays while keeping recoil manageable over a long day. The 1-1/8 ounce payload of #8 shot puts a dense pattern on the target at common clay distances. #8 shot is also a popular choice for dove and quail where lead shot is legal, though this case is primarily intended for clay target practice and league shooting. A modified or improved modified choke is a common starting point for 16-yard trap with this load, while skeet shooters usually open up to a skeet or cylinder choke.

This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Beretta A300 and 686, Browning Citori and BT-99, Remington 870 and 1100, Benelli Montefeltro, Mossberg 500, and Winchester SX4. A common question is whether a 1-1/8 ounce load cycles a semi-automatic shotgun. Most gas-operated 12 gauge semi-autos run reliably with this weight. Another common question is whether lead shot is allowed for dove hunting. Lead is legal for dove in many areas, but some public lands and all federal waterfowl hunting require non-toxic shot, so check your regulations.

Remington 20230 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 1-1/8 ounce #8 Gun Club target loads. That is enough for ten rounds of trap or skeet, a full season of league shooting, or a mix of practice and dove hunting from one consistent lot.
