The Fiocchi 20SD8 Shooting Dynamics delivers consistent performance for clay sports and target shooting with precision-loaded #8 shot in reliable 20-gauge shells. This target load combines Italian manufacturing expertise with American sporting requirements. Each 2.75-inch shell contains 7/8 ounce of #8 shot for optimal pattern density at sporting clay distances.
What Makes This Different
Fiocchi's Shooting Dynamics line uses progressive burning powder that maintains consistent velocities across temperature ranges. The brass-plated steel head construction provides reliable extraction in semi-automatic shotguns. Unlike budget target loads that sacrifice consistency for price, these shells maintain uniform shot patterns and velocities within 25 fps standard deviation.
Key Features
- 7/8 ounce #8 shot payload optimized for clay target breaking power
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 20-gauge chambers
- Progressive burning powder for consistent 1200 fps muzzle velocity
- Brass-plated steel head prevents extraction issues in gas-operated actions
- High-quality plastic hull with reliable crimp seal
- 25 shells per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
- Italian manufacturing with strict quality control standards
These shells excel in sporting clays, trap, and skeet disciplines where consistent shot placement determines scores. The #8 shot size provides adequate energy for clay breaking while maintaining dense patterns at 25-40 yard ranges. Shooters report reliable cycling in Remington 1100, Benelli Super Sport, and Beretta A400 semi-automatics. The moderate recoil makes extended practice sessions comfortable for youth and smaller-framed shooters.
