Description

You'll notice right away that these Bioammo shells handle like traditional competition ammo, but with the benefit of leaving practically zero plastic residue behind. The Rex line is specifically engineered for clay target sports, and they cycle smoothly through both semi-autos and pump guns. Each box contains 25 rounds loaded to 1250 fps with a balanced 1 oz #8 shot payload that delivers tight, consistent patterns downrange.

What Makes Bioammo Rex Lead Different

The game changer here is the construction. The case and wad are both made from proprietary biodegradable biopolymers instead of traditional plastic and fiber. This means the spent shells actually decompose over time in natural environments like wetland shooting areas, rather than sitting around for decades. You're not sacrificing performance to get there either. The Rex series was designed in collaboration with Olympic medalist Jorge Guardiola specifically for competitive shooters, which tells you something about the quality standards.

Ballistics and Pattern Performance

These load at a muzzle velocity of 1250 feet per second, which is right in the sweet spot for clay shooting. The #8 shot size creates a pattern dense enough for solid connects on crossing targets while still providing plenty of pellet count. The powder charge and primer are developed to deliver consistent ignition and smooth recoil management, important when you're shooting multiple boxes during a competition or practice session.

Who Reaches For These

If you shoot trap, skeet, or sporting clays and care about the environmental footprint you leave at the range, these are a natural fit. They work in any modern shotgun regardless of action type. The biodegradable components won't affect how the gun cycles or how the shot pattern performs, so you're getting the environmental win without any compromise on the target.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Bioammo Rex shells work in my shotgun without any special modifications?

Yes, these load and cycle just like standard shotgun shells. The biodegradable case and wad don't affect how your gun functions, so they'll work reliably in any modern shotgun whether it's semi-automatic, pump-action, over/under, or side-by-side. Simply treat them as you would any other 12 gauge 2 3/4" shell.

How much better are these for the environment compared to regular shells?

The main difference is that the case and wad are 100% biodegradable biopolymers with zero plastic. Traditional shells use plastic hulls that take centuries to break down. With these Rex shells, the spent components naturally decompose within months when exposed to natural conditions, significantly reducing the plastic footprint of clay shooting. They're especially useful if you shoot frequently in wetland or sensitive areas.

What's the difference between #8 shot and other shot sizes for clay shooting?

Number 8 shot creates a dense pellet pattern with plenty of pellets per ounce, which makes it excellent for closer clay targets and tighter shooting. It's a popular competition size because it gives you tight patterns and enough hits to reliably break clays without overkill. Sizes like 7.5 are more versatile all-around, while 9 is tighter still for short-range work.

Were these shells specifically designed for competitive shooting?

Yes, the Bioammo Rex line was developed in collaboration with Olympic medalist Jorge Guardiola for competitive clay target sports. They meet exacting performance standards for accuracy, patterning, and recoil management, making them reliable for trap, skeet, and sporting clays competitions and practice.
