The Fiocchi 28VIP9 Exacta Target VIP delivers consistent patterns and reduced felt recoil for competitive clay shooting. This premium 28-gauge load combines Italian manufacturing precision with carefully balanced powder charges to maximize accuracy at sporting clays stations. The smaller shot size and optimized velocity create dense, uniform patterns that break targets cleanly at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Fiocchi's VIP line uses specially selected components and tighter quality control standards compared to standard target loads. The 3/4-ounce payload maintains excellent pattern density while generating less shoulder fatigue during extended shooting sessions. Each hull undergoes individual inspection, and the powder charges are weighed to +/- 0.1 grain for shot-to-shot consistency that competitive shooters demand.
Key Features
- 3/4-ounce payload of #9 shot for dense patterns on clay targets
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 28-gauge chambers
- Low-recoil formula reduces muzzle jump and shooter fatigue
- Consistent 1,200 fps muzzle velocity for predictable leads
- High-quality plastic hulls with reliable primer ignition
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Compatible with all 28-gauge shotguns including semi-autos and O/Us
This load performs exceptionally well at sporting clays courses where crossing shots and longer distances challenge shooters. The #9 shot size provides approximately 585 pellets per shell, creating dense patterns that increase hit probability on challenging presentations. The reduced recoil allows for faster target acquisition on report pairs and maintains shooter comfort during 100+ round competitions.
