The Aguila 1CHB1280 Target Load Competition delivers consistent patterns and reduced felt recoil for competitive clay shooting disciplines. This premium 12-gauge load combines precise powder charges with uniform shot distribution to break targets reliably at extended ranges. Competition shooters choose these shells for their clean-burning propellant and reliable ignition across varying weather conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard field loads, the 1CHB1280 features carefully selected components optimized for clay target sports. The 1-1/8 ounce payload of #8 shot provides dense patterns while maintaining manageable recoil impulse. Aguila's quality control process ensures consistent velocities within 15 fps across the entire production lot, delivering predictable point of impact shot after shot.
