The B&P Competition One is built specifically for clay target ranges where lead ammunition isn't permitted. This 12 gauge 2.75" shell loads 1 oz of #7.5 steel shot and reaches 1375 fps, giving you the velocity and performance you need to break targets consistently. Whether you're running trap, skeet, or sporting clays where steel shot is required, this load delivers the same reliability B&P is known for.
What sets these shells apart is the Gordon System in the base of the case. Instead of a solid steel base like most shotshells, the Gordon hull has a specially designed section that compresses when fired, absorbing and slowing the recoil impulse. This isn't just marketing talk. Shooters report that the reduction in felt recoil is noticeable, especially over long practice sessions. You maintain better form and accuracy when you're not getting beaten up by the gun, and you can shoot more rounds before fatigue affects your scores. The design also optimizes powder combustion, which contributes to consistent performance shot after shot.
The #7.5 shot size strikes the right balance for clay target work. You get enough pellets in the pattern for consistent breaks while maintaining good downrange energy. B&P loads this steel shot with careful attention to roundness and consistency. That matters because uniform pellets mean uniform patterns, and uniform patterns mean you know what to expect when you shoulder the gun. Pre-cut wads help maintain consistent pattern formation across repeated shots, so your second clay is as predictable as your first.
B&P made this Competition One line specifically for shooters who put in the work. The 25-round box format makes it easy to grab what you need, and the consistent performance across the entire box means you can focus on refinement rather than worrying about ammunition variables. These load well in a wide range of modern shotguns and cycle reliably in semi-autos, so whether you're running an old side-by-side or a modern gas gun, you'll get reliable function.
Yes, the 2.75" shell length works in all standard 12 gauge shotguns. These shells cycle reliably in both traditional side-by-side and over-under shotguns as well as modern semi-automatic designs. Just make sure your shotgun is rated for 2.75" shells and that your range permits steel shot.
The Gordon hull has a special base section that compresses when the shell fires, slowing and spreading out the recoil impulse. This makes the felt recoil noticeably softer than standard shells with the same payload. Over a long day of shooting, this difference adds up and helps you maintain better form and accuracy.
Many clay ranges restrict or prohibit lead ammunition due to environmental concerns, so steel shot is your only option at those ranges. The #7.5 steel load performs well on clay targets at typical range distances and patterns consistently. These Competition One shells are specifically designed for steel shot applications.
While the Gordon base wad is designed to compress on the first firing, some shooters have successfully reloaded them. However, the recoil reduction benefit of the Gordon System is only present in the factory load. After the first firing and reload, these become standard hulls for subsequent rounds.
