Twenty gauge target loads are popular with youth shooters, skeet competitors, and anyone who wants a softer-shooting gun for a long day of clays. This listing is Remington Gun Club 20 gauge 2-3/4 inch 7/8 ounce #9 shot ammo, MPN 20236, sold as a 250 round case.
Remington rates this load at 1,200 fps. The 7/8 ounce payload is the standard 20 gauge target load, and #9 shot gives a dense pattern for close presentations such as skeet and short sporting clays stations. Smaller shot means more pellets in the pattern, which helps break targets at close range. Recoil is mild, making it a good choice for new shooters. This is a target load, though it can also serve for close-range dove and quail where lead shot is legal.
This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 20 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Beretta A300 and 686 Silver Pigeon, Browning Citori and Silver, Benelli Montefeltro, Remington 870 and 1100, Mossberg 500 Bantam, Winchester SX4, and CZ over-unders. A common question is whether #9 or #7.5 shot is better for clays. #9 is ideal for skeet and close targets, while #7.5 holds energy better on longer sporting clays or trap. Another common question is whether 20 gauge shells can be confused with 12 gauge. Yes, and a 20 gauge shell can lodge in a 12 gauge barrel, so keep gauges separated.
Remington 20236 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 25 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 20 gauge 7/8 ounce #9 shot. That covers ten rounds of skeet or a full weekend of practice from one lot. Store shells cool and dry for consistent performance. A case of 250 also lets a parent and a young shooter practice together for several outings.
