Description

This is one of Remington's freshest additions to the Premier Nitro Sporting Clays family, and it fills a gap the line hadn't covered before. You get a 12 gauge, 2-3/4 inch shell loaded with a full ounce of No. 8 lead shot moving at 1,250 fps. That 1-ounce and No. 8 pairing is new ground for Nitro Sporting Clays, and it gives shooters who've already settled on a 1-ounce payload the freedom to pick pellet size and speed as separate calls.

Why the 1oz #8 Nitro Sporting Clays Load Works

An ounce of No. 8 shot runs roughly 410 pellets, noticeably more than you'd get stepping up to larger shot. More pellets in the air means a denser, more forgiving pattern, which is exactly what you want when you're breaking close and mid-range clays, chasing skeet pairs, or cleaning up a station on the sporting course. Remington powered this one down to 1,250 fps on purpose, answering requests from clay shooters who wanted a softer-recoiling option that still carries enough energy to crush targets.

The Hull Behind the Premier Nitro Sporting Clays Shell

These shells are built around Remington's iconic gold Unibody hull, long respected as one of the most reloader-friendly designs on the clay range. Inside you'll find the figure-8 style Power Piston wad, engineered to spread pressure evenly for a true flying shot column and tight, repeatable patterns. The one-piece hull holds up to repeated reloads, so if you run a press at home, this load earns its keep well past the first firing.

Range Days with the Nitro Sporting Clays 1oz

If your shotgun handles 2-3/4 inch shells, this load drops right in for trap, skeet, five-stand, and sporting clays. It's a comfortable round to shoot through a long card, and the consistent velocities and uniform patterns are what have kept Remington Premier shells a fixture on competitive ranges for decades. Each box holds 25 rounds of made-for-the-course performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this Premier Nitro Sporting Clays load different from the others in the line?

This one (part No. 20258) is a new 2026 addition that pairs No. 8 shot with a 1-ounce payload, a combo the line hadn't offered before. It runs at a managed 1,250 fps, giving you a denser pattern and softer recoil than the faster, heavier loads in the family. It's a nice fit for shooters who've settled on an ounce of shot but want smaller pellets.

Why would I choose No. 8 shot over 7.5 for sporting clays?

No. 8 shot puts more pellets in the air for the same payload weight, roughly 410 pellets in an ounce. That extra pellet count builds a denser, more forgiving pattern, which is great for closer and mid-range clay presentations. Many shooters lean on 7.5 for longer crossers, so a lot of folks keep both on hand depending on the course.

Can I reload the hulls from these shells?

Yes. The Premier Nitro Sporting Clays shells use Remington's gold one-piece Unibody hull, which has a strong reputation as one of the more reloader-friendly designs on the clay range. If you run a press, these hulls hold up to repeated reloads and help stretch your shooting budget.

Will this 2-3/4 inch load work in my shotgun?

Any 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 2-3/4 inch shells will run this load, which covers the vast majority of over/unders, semi-autos, and pump guns used for clay sports. The 1-ounce payload and 1,250 fps velocity make it an easy-shooting round for long days at the range.
