The B&P Competition One is purpose-built for clay target sports where you're putting rounds downrange all day long. These 20 gauge shells pack 7/8 ounce of #8 lead shot in a standard 2.75 inch hull and run at 1210 fps, giving you the ballistics needed to break targets cleanly without unnecessary recoil punishment.
The standout feature here is the Gordon System, B&P's shock-absorbing base wad design that significantly reduces felt recoil while maintaining ballistic performance. The conical shape of the wad optimizes powder combustion, which means you get consistent velocity and shot patterns from round one to round 250. You're looking at softer recoil that lets you stay focused on your mount and follow-up shots, especially important when you're grinding through practice sessions or running multiple strings at a match.
The 7/8 ounce load in 20 gauge sits right where competitive shooters want it. It's the same shot weight used in international trap competition rules, giving you the perfect training platform whether you're working on fundamentals or pushing for higher scores. The #8 shot size provides the density and precision needed for consistent breaks across trap, skeet, and sporting clay distances.
These shells are designed to handle high-round days without issues. Twenty-five rounds per box means you can build your practice sessions without constantly restocking, and the consistent ignition and components mean you're not worrying about performance variance between shots. The focus is on reliability and comfort so your technique stays sharp instead of your shoulder reminding you why you shot 200 rounds.
Yes, these are standard 20 gauge 2.75 inch shells that will function in any 20 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75 inch loads. The Gordon System doesn't affect cycling or reliability in any way. If your gun is designed for standard 20 gauge ammunition, these will work.
The Gordon base wad has a conical shape with a progressively compressible design that absorbs firing shock when you pull the trigger. Instead of all that energy hitting your shoulder in one sharp impulse, it gets spread out over a slightly longer time frame, which significantly reduces felt recoil. The design also optimizes powder burn for more consistent patterns.
Absolutely. These shells meet competition standards for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The 7/8 ounce load matches what's used in international trap rules, and plenty of competitive shooters rely on B&P Competition One for registered events. Check your local club rules, but these will be approved for competition use.
Number 8 shot is dense enough to break targets reliably at the distances you'll encounter in trap and skeet, with enough pellets per shot for a good pattern. It's commonly preferred for these sports because it balances pattern density with the ability to see your breaks. Some shooters prefer #7.5 or #9, but #8 is the go-to for most competitive work.
