Browning Golden Clays 16 Gauge 2.75" 1oz #8 Shot Shells - 25/Box

The Browning Golden Clays BGC168 delivers consistent performance for competitive clay shooting with premium components engineered for 16-gauge sporting applications. This target load combines reliable ignition with uniform shot patterns to maximize break rates on the range.

What Makes This Different

Browning's Golden Clays line features hard shot pellets that maintain their spherical shape through barrel travel, producing tighter patterns than standard target loads. The high-antimony shot resists deformation under acceleration forces, while the specialized wad design creates consistent shot release. Factory-loaded powder charges ensure velocity uniformity within 15 fps across the entire lot.

Key Features

• Premium hard shot pellets with high antimony content for pattern consistency
• 2.75-inch hull length optimized for 16-gauge sporting shotguns
• 1-ounce shot charge with #8 pellets ideal for clay target disciplines
• Specialized wad system designed for clean shot separation
• Factory-loaded with temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities
• 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
• Brass-plated steel head construction for reliable extraction

These shells perform consistently across temperature ranges from 32°F to 100°F without significant velocity shifts. The #8 shot size provides optimal pellet count and energy retention for standard trap, skeet, and sporting clays distances. Clay shooters report consistent breaks on crossing targets out to 35 yards with proper lead application. The 16-gauge platform offers reduced felt recoil compared to 12-gauge loads while maintaining effective downrange energy.
