The Remington Premier STS 12 gauge delivers consistent performance for sporting clays and trap shooting with precision-engineered components that reduce felt recoil while maintaining velocity. This premium target load features Remington's advanced hull design and high-antimony lead shot for superior pattern density and consistent breaks.
What Makes This Different
Premier STS ammunition utilizes Remington's proprietary STS hull technology, which provides 15% better compression strength than standard hulls while maintaining optimal crimp retention. The high-antimony lead shot resists deformation during firing, delivering tighter patterns and more consistent pellet energy downrange compared to standard lead shot alternatives.
Key Features
- High-antimony lead shot maintains pellet roundness for consistent patterns
- STS hull design reduces felt recoil by 8-12% versus comparable loads
- 2.75-inch length fits all standard 12 gauge chambers
- 1-1/8 ounce shot weight provides optimal balance of speed and energy
- #8 shot size delivers 410 pellets per shell for dense patterns
- Primer and powder matched for consistent velocities
- 25-round boxes packed 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
This load generates approximately 1,200 feet per second muzzle velocity, making it suitable for 16-yard trap, sporting clays, and skeet competition. The #8 shot size breaks targets effectively at distances up to 40 yards while maintaining sufficient pellet count for consistent hits. Weather-resistant crimping and sealed primers ensure reliable ignition in humid conditions.
