The Aguila 1CHB1348 Target Load Competition delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for competitive clay shooting disciplines. This premium 12-gauge load combines precise powder charges with uniform shot distribution to maximize target breaks at sporting clays, trap, and skeet events.
What Makes This Different
Aguila's competition-grade loading process ensures shot-to-shot consistency that recreational loads cannot match. Each hull receives computer-controlled powder charges measured to within 0.1 grains, while the proprietary wad design maintains tight shot patterns through the critical 20-40 yard engagement zone. Independent testing shows 15% tighter patterns compared to standard target loads at 30 yards.
Key Features
- 1-1/8 ounce #8 shot charge optimized for clay target breaking power
- 2.75-inch hull length provides universal compatibility with all 12-gauge shotguns
- Competition-grade powder delivers consistent 1,200 fps muzzle velocity
- High-quality plastic hull construction ensures reliable extraction
- Precision-formed shot maintains spherical shape for uniform patterns
- Low-recoil formula reduces shooter fatigue during extended competitions
- Brass-plated steel head withstands repeated ejection cycles
Field testing demonstrates exceptional pattern density at competitive shooting distances, with 70% of pellets consistently striking within a 30-inch circle at 35 yards. The balanced load produces manageable recoil that allows rapid target acquisition between stations while maintaining the power necessary to break hard-angled targets. Weather-resistant primers function reliably in temperatures from -10°F to 125°F, ensuring dependable ignition during outdoor competitions.
