At 1-1/8 ounces, this 12 Gauge shell is loaded with the heaviest column of shot most trapshooters are allowed during competition. It is #8 shot, just smaller than the #7.5 that is frequently used, which means its pattern is about 461 pellets thick instead of 394. Estate’s extra hard lead shot holds its shape very well under pressure, and it is screened to ensure uniformity of diameter. It thus delivers the compact pattern at long range which successful clay smashing revolves around.
This shell’s wad is perforated to promote cleaner detachment after having properly patterned its shot for accurate flight. Estate’s primer reliably ignites their progressive burning powder to promote a consistent muzzle velocity and generate manageable recoil. This shell’s reloadable hull is strengthened by a steel head, which is brass-plated for gentler contact with a shotgun’s extraction mechanism.
