B&P’s Competition One Steel shotshell in 12 gauge (part no. 12B18GC7) brings a non-toxic steel-shot option to clay shooters who compete at ranges where lead is prohibited. B&P Ammunition loads the 1-1/8 ounce charge of #7.5 steel shot to considerably higher velocities than its lead Competition One counterpart, a deliberate choice to boost the dynamic load of each shot and restore the clay-breaking power steel shot can otherwise give up. The line also carries over B&P’s Gordon case technology from its lead-shot competition shells. This shotgun shells lets shooters keep competing at steel-only ranges without sacrificing the performance they’re used to.
