A flat of 20 gauge target shells covers a full season of weekend rounds at the skeet field or several busy sporting clays outings. This listing is Remington Gun Club 20 gauge 2-3/4 inch 7/8 ounce #7.5 shot target ammo, MPN 20239, sold as 250 rounds for clay shooters, youth programs, and anyone who prefers the lighter recoil of a 20.
Remington rates this load at 1,200 fps. That moderate speed and the 7/8 ounce payload give the 20 gauge a soft push that is easy on younger and smaller shooters during long practice sessions. Number 7.5 shot is a common all-around target size. It breaks clays well at typical skeet, trap, and sporting distances while still carrying enough pellet energy for longer crossing targets. Gun Club shells are a target load, but the same payload also works for dove and other small upland birds where lead shot is legal.
These shells fit 20 gauge shotguns with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Beretta A300 and A400, Benelli Montefeltro, Browning Citori and Cynergy, Remington 870 and 1100, Mossberg 500, Franchi Affinity, and CZ over-unders. A common question is whether #7.5 or #8 shot is better for clays. #8 gives a denser pattern for close skeet targets, while #7.5 holds energy better on longer sporting presentations. Another common question is about mixing gauges. Never carry 20 gauge and 12 gauge shells in the same pouch, because a 20 gauge shell can slip into a 12 gauge chamber and lodge in the barrel.
Remington 20239 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. The plastic hulls are suitable for reloading and the primers are non-corrosive. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 25 shells for 250 rounds total from one lot, so the pattern you learn on the first station is the same pattern you shoot all season.
