Challenger First Class Target Load (part no. CTA12FL8) pairs a lighter 1 ounce payload of #8 shot with a moderate 1150 feet per second velocity in the standard 2.75-inch, 12 gauge hull. Challenger Ammo markets this loading as a dedicated target load rather than a hunting shell, and the finer #8 shot puts more individual pellets in the pattern than a #7.5 load of the same weight, a common preference for closer clay-target presentations. This listing ships as a full 250-round case, a genuinely bulk quantity for high-volume clay shooting.
