The B&T Competition One 12 Gauge delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for competitive clay shooting disciplines. This premium Italian ammunition combines precision manufacturing with optimized powder charges to provide the edge serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Competition One shells feature hard shot pellets that maintain spherical shape through the barrel, reducing flyers and tightening patterns compared to standard target loads. The specially formulated powder burns cleanly at consistent velocities, while the one-piece plastic wad design protects shot during acceleration. Each hull undergoes quality control testing to ensure uniform wall thickness and proper primer seating.
Key Features
- 1-1/8 ounce of premium #8 shot for optimal clay breaking power
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12 gauge shotguns and semi-automatics
- Consistent 1,200 fps muzzle velocity across temperature ranges
- Low-recoil powder charge reduces fatigue during extended sessions
- Nickel-plated brass head prevents extraction issues
- Star crimp closure maintains consistent chamber pressure
- 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing shows Competition One maintains tight patterns at sporting clays distances while generating sufficient energy to shatter targets reliably. The balanced load performs consistently in trap, skeet, and sporting clays disciplines. Weather-resistant primers ensure reliable ignition in humid conditions, while the clean-burning powder minimizes barrel fouling during tournament rounds.
