The Challenger Sporting Clay 12 Gauge shell (brand part no. CTA12SC175) is loaded for the varied angles and distances of a sporting clays course rather than the fixed presentations of trap or skeet. Challenger Ammo charges this shell with a full 1 ounce of #7.5 lead shot at 1250 fps, balancing pattern density with reach on crossing and going-away targets. 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 solid choice for shooters who spend more time on a course than a straight trap or skeet field.
