B&P Competition One shotshells are designed with the serious clay target shooter in mind. Each 12-gauge 2.75-inch shell contains a 1-ounce payload of #8 shot and travels at 1160 fps muzzle velocity. The standout feature that sets these shells apart is their Gordon System technology, a proprietary case design that works as a shock-absorbing spring at the point of ignition. The conical base wad reduces felt recoil while optimizing powder combustion, which means you stay more comfortable and on-target during extended shooting sessions.
These shells deliver the consistent patterns you need to break targets reliably in trap competitions. The 1 oz #8 shot size provides good pellet density without excessive recoil, and the Gordon System keeps your shoulder fresher through a long day at the range. Competitive trap shooters appreciate that the lower felt recoil helps maintain form and focus across multiple rounds.
Skeet and sporting clay shooters find the #8 shot particularly useful for the varied distances and angles you encounter. The powder charge is carefully measured for consistent velocity from round to round, and the Gordon System's design means less shooter fatigue when you're running high-volume practice. Real-world shooters report tight, uniform patterns that break clays cleanly.
Packed in convenient 25-round boxes, Competition One shells are made from high-quality components including reliable primers, clean-burning powder, and durable hulls. The reduced recoil design is especially valuable when you're logging hours of practice. Baschieri & Pellagri manufactures these in Italy with strict quality control, ensuring each box performs the same as the last.
The Gordon System is a conical base wad design that acts as a progressive shock-absorbing spring. It reduces felt recoil by up to 30 percent while optimizing powder combustion for consistent velocity and uniform shot patterns. This means less shoulder fatigue during long practice sessions or competitions while maintaining reliable performance.
Yes, #8 shot works well for both disciplines. While some shooters prefer #9 for skeet, #8 is versatile and provides good pellet density for breaking clay targets at typical shooting distances. Many competition shooters use #8 shot across trap, skeet, and sporting clays without issues.
Competition One shells are built with high-quality Italian manufacturing standards and the proprietary Gordon System, which significantly reduces recoil compared to standard target loads. While priced higher than basic practice ammunition, the reduced recoil, consistent performance, and lower fatigue factor make them popular with serious shooters who log many rounds during training.
Yes, the Gordon System hulls can be reloaded, though the flash hole is small and requires a specific depriming post. The hull retains much of its structure after firing, so even reloaded rounds maintain some of the recoil reduction benefits of the original Gordon case design.
