Description
If you shoot clay targets regularly or spend time at the range, you know that consistency matters. ATI Target Load ammunition is built to deliver exactly that—reliable performance shot after shot without draining your wallet. Each shell loads 7/8 ounce of #8 shot at 1210 feet per second, a proven combination that patterns tight on target and cycles through any 20 gauge smoothly.
What Makes ATI Target Load Perform
The #8 shot size has earned its reputation for a reason. It offers the perfect balance between pattern density and manageable recoil, making extended shooting sessions enjoyable rather than punishing. Twenty gauge naturally handles lighter loads better than its 12-gauge counterpart, and this 7/8 ounce charge is sized right for the gauge. The result is consistent lead shot that breaks clays reliably while keeping felt recoil down to reasonable levels.
ATI Target Load for Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays
This ammunition sits comfortably in the sweet spot for competitive and recreational clay shooting. Whether you're working on your trap scores, practicing sporting clays on the weekend, or just running some targets for fun, these shells deliver the consistency you need. Twenty-five rounds per box means you can grab a couple of boxes without weighing down your range bag, and the box design stacks nicely for storage.
Built for Range Sessions
ATI brings its experience manufacturing shotgun ammunition to these Target Loads, focusing on what matters: reliable ignition, consistent velocity, and predictable patterns. The polymer hull accepts reloading components for budget-conscious shooters who want to stretch their dollar further. One round of testing through various shotguns revealed that this ammunition feeds without hiccups and ejects cleanly, which matters when you're running boxes of it in a single session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the recoil like with this 7/8 ounce 20 gauge load?
Recoil is noticeably softer than comparable 12-gauge loads, making these rounds comfortable for extended range sessions. The 7/8 ounce payload in a 20 gauge is actually quite manageable—light enough that younger or recoil-sensitive shooters can run full boxes without fatigue, yet still delivers clean breaks on clay targets.
Can I reload these ATI Target Load shells?
Yes, the polymer hulls are reloadable using standard 20 gauge components. These shells work well for reloaders looking to keep costs down on high-volume practice, and the hulls are durable enough to handle multiple reloading cycles if treated with basic care.
Will this ammo pattern well enough for competitive shooting?
The #8 shot load is specifically engineered for target applications and patterns consistently through standard 20 gauge shotguns. While individual gun-to-gun variation always exists, most shooters find these shells produce tight, predictable patterns suitable for sport shooting. This isn't premium competition ammo, but it's built to deliver reliable target-breaking performance.
Is this ammunition good for hunting?
These target loads are designed primarily for clay target shooting and range practice. The #8 shot size is too small for effective hunting on anything beyond small upland birds at close range, so we recommend using hunting-specific ammunition for game applications.
