Challenger First Class Target Load (part no. CTA12H18) pairs a lighter 1 ounce payload of #8 shot with the fastest velocity in Challenger’s 12 gauge target lineup, at 1290 feet per second, in the standard 2.75-inch hull. Challenger Ammo markets this loading as a dedicated target load rather than a hunting shell, combining a lighter payload for reduced recoil with a quick, flat shot string for fast-moving clay presentations. This listing ships as a full 250-round case, a genuinely bulk quantity for high-volume clay shooting.
