Challenger Sporting Clay 12 Gauge 1-1/8 oz #8 Shot, 250-Round Case

The Challenger Sporting Clay 12 Gauge shell (brand part no. CTA12SC8) pairs a full 1-1/8 ounce payload with #8 shot for shooters who want maximum pellet count on closer course presentations. Challenger Ammo drives this load to 1235 fps, keeping the trajectory flat across a course’s mix of ranges. The 2-3/4 inch hull cycles cleanly through pump, semi-auto, and break-action 12 gauges, and the 250-round case keeps a full round of sporting clays affordable. It is a strong pick for shooters who prioritize pattern density over reach.
