The B&P Competition One line hits a sweet spot for clay target shooters who put in the work at the range. These shells load 7/8 oz of lead shot at 1160 fps, which is all the velocity you need for breaking targets while keeping recoil manageable when you're running dozens of rounds through your gun. The lighter payload compared to standard 1 oz loads makes a real difference after you've fired several boxes.
The key feature here is the Gordon System, B&P's shock-absorbing base wad design. It works by slowing the burn rate of the powder and absorbing the initial impact, spreading recoil across a longer time frame instead of delivering it all at once to your shoulder. This doesn't turn a 12 gauge into a 28 gauge, but it's noticeable when you're shooting high volume, and it helps you stay more consistent with follow-up shots.
The #9 shot size delivers the pellet density clay target shooters want for breaking clays at typical skeet and trap distances. These shells use graphite-coated lead alloy shot with 5% antimony for better performance and consistency. Real-world feedback from competitive shooters confirms the patterns are tight and reliable round to round, which matters when you're trying to score well.
These are designed as single-use shells. The Gordon System recoil reduction only works on the first firing, so while folks do reload them as regular hulls, you won't get that recoil benefit again. For the price point, most competitive shooters treat them as factory-only rounds. They feed and eject cleanly through both pump and semi-auto shotguns, and the plastic cases handle well in high-volume shooting.
The 7/8 oz load generates noticeably less recoil while still delivering plenty of pattern density for clay targets. It's a lighter payload that lets you run more rounds during practice sessions without fatigue. Both load types share the Gordon System technology and 1160 fps velocity, so the main trade-off is recoil management versus standard shot weight.
The hulls can technically be reloaded like any quality plastic case, but the Gordon System recoil benefit only works on the first firing. After that, they reload as regular hulls. Most Competition One shooters treat them as single-use because the reloading life is shorter than standard hulls, making them less economical for reloading programs.
Absolutely. The 7/8 oz payload and #9 shot size work across both disciplines. Trap shooters use them at standard yardage, and skeet shooters appreciate the light recoil combined with reliable patterns. The lighter payload actually helps many shooters stay more consistent, especially over high-volume days.
The Gordon System uses a shock-absorbing base wad with a distinctive conical profile that compresses when the powder ignites. This spreads the recoil impulse over a longer time frame rather than delivering it all at once to your shoulder. Combined with the lighter 7/8 oz payload, it noticeably softens the shot, which helps maintain accuracy and form during extended shooting.
