BIOAMMO Rex competition shells bring something different to the shooting bench: high-performance loads wrapped in a completely plastic-free design. These 12-gauge rounds pack 1 ounce of #7.5 lead shot at 1250 fps, hitting the sweet spot for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. Whether you're serious about competition or just putting rounds downrange at the range, the ballistics are solid. The real story here is what you're not taking home with you. The case and wad are made from vegetable-based biopolymers that break down naturally in the environment, leaving zero plastic waste behind. That means no white wad cups littering your favorite hunting ground or ponds. The brown wads actually blend into fields better too.
Most competition shells fire well but leave a trail of plastic. The Rex shells perform just as well as traditional ammunition on the pattern board, maintaining consistent velocities and shot payloads you'd expect from serious clay loads. The biopolymer wads are actually more rigid than conventional plastic, which translates to clean powder burning, reliable cycling in semi-autos and pumps, and repeatable shot patterns shot after shot. Independent testing shows pattern density in the 85-90% range at 35 yards with proper choke selection, which meets or exceeds industry standards.
If you're tired of standard shells that require cleanup crews to remove plastic waste, or if you hunt on family land and want to keep it clean, these make a real difference. The cases and wads biodegrade in temperate conditions within 2-6 years, compared to conventional plastic that sits around for 450 years. A single spent hull, wad, and base equals about 3-5 plastic shopping bags worth of material. These shells cost more to manufacture, but the competitive pricing keeps them accessible to shooters who care about both performance and environmental impact.
These are standard-pressure loads that work in any modern 12-gauge shotgun. 2.75-inch shells cycle smoothly in semi-automatic, pump-action, over-and-under, and side-by-side shotguns. The #7.5 shot size handles bird targets effectively and works for upland game where lead is permitted. Each box contains 25 rounds loaded to consistent specifications, making them suitable for everything from weekend practice to competitive events.
Yes, these standard-pressure 12-gauge shells work in any modern shotgun including semi-autos, pump-actions, over-unders, and side-by-sides. Dimensions meet standard specifications for 2.75-inch shells. As always, it's smart to test a small quantity in your specific shotgun before buying in bulk.
The vegetable-based biopolymer wads are actually more rigid than conventional plastic, which contributes to consistent patterns and reliable cycling. Ballistic testing confirms pattern density in the 85-90% range at 35 yards, matching or exceeding standard competition loads.
The biodegradable wads and cases break down through natural bacterial action in temperate soil or compost conditions within 2-6 years, leaving no toxic residue. They don't degrade in water, so they're stable during storage and use.
The biodegradable materials make these shells better suited for single use rather than reloading. If you're looking for shells specifically designed for reloading, standard plastic-cased ammunition is a better choice.
