Overview

Built for training and practice, this 12 gauge load is aimed at shooters who want a consistent cartridge for working on form and shot placement. The 2-3/4" shell uses #8 shot and a 1-1/8 oz payload at 1160 fps, making it a straightforward option for range sessions and other high-volume shooting. Baschieri & Pellagri’s Gordon Technology is included to help reduce felt recoil, which can make longer sessions more manageable. It is offered in a 250-round case for shooters who prefer to stock up for repeated use.

Pros

  • Designed as a versatile training cartridge for refining shooting skills
  • Gordon Technology is included to aid in reduced felt recoil
  • 12 gauge, 2-3/4-inch case suits common shotgun training setups
  • #8 shot offers a defined shot size for practice use
  • 8mm brass height and PC wad are listed in the specifications

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed as a training cartridge, so it is not positioned as a dedicated hunting load.
  • #8 shot is a smaller shot size, which may limit its use to closer-range or practice-focused applications depending on the game and setup.
  • The 2-3/4" 12 gauge format is specific, so it will only suit shotguns chambered for that length.
  • The 250/case packaging is practical for volume shooting, but it is a larger purchase than a small box for occasional use.
