Frequently Asked Questions

What clay games is this sporting clays and skeet load built for? It is loaded specifically for sporting clays and skeet, where consistent patterns and predictable recoil matter more than raw power.

Is #9 shot too light for anything besides targets? No — lighter target shot sizes like this also work for close-range dove and quail, so many shooters keep a case on hand for both.

Will this pattern well through a standard trap or skeet choke? Yes, it is loaded to standard pressures and shot sizes that pattern predictably through the improved cylinder to modified chokes typical of clay guns.
