The Challenger First Class 20 Gauge Target Load (brand part no. CTA2075) gives smaller-gauge shooters an affordable way to stock up for a season of trap and skeet without the recoil of a 12 gauge. Challenger Ammo builds this shell with a 7/8 ounce charge of #7.5 lead shot in the standard 2-3/4 inch hull, a proven combination for breaking clays consistently. It cycles cleanly through pump, semi-auto, and break-action 20 gauges, and the 250-round case keeps you supplied through a full practice season. For shooters who prefer a lighter-kicking gauge for long days at the club, this is a dependable, budget-friendly option.
