Description

B&P Competition One shotshells are built for trap and skeet shooters who value comfort during extended range time. Each round carries 7/8 oz of #9 shot loaded to 1210 fps, a velocity that works great for clay target disciplines where precision matters more than raw power. The key feature here is the Gordon System base wad, which compresses slightly upon firing to dampen recoil and transfer energy more smoothly through your shoulder. This isn't a gimmick—shooters using these consistently report noticeably reduced felt recoil compared to standard loads, which translates to better form and follow-through over high-volume strings.

What Sets B&P Competition One Apart

The graphite-coated lead alloy shot with 5% antimony content patterns remarkably well from most guns. Whether you're breaking targets at trap or working on your skeet fundamentals, the consistency from box to box makes these shells range-ready without the need to fiddle with your gun setup. The 8MM brass is solid, and reloaders will appreciate that the Gordon hull can be reloaded, though the recoil-reducing function diminishes after the first firing.

Who Benefits Most

These work especially well for 20 gauge competitors because they deliver what competition shooters actually need: predictable ballistics and low recoil. The 7/8 oz payload gives you enough pellets downrange without beating you up, which matters when you're shooting multiple rounds in a session. Some trap purists might prefer larger shot or higher velocities, but for skeet—where the longest shot stays under 25 yards—the #9 load provides outstanding pattern density. This isn't a compromise load; it's purpose-built for the game.

25 rounds per box, sold in cases of 10 boxes for range shooters who run serious volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Gordon System and does it really reduce recoil?

The Gordon System uses a compressible base wad instead of a solid base, so it absorbs and cushions the firing impulse rather than transmitting it abruptly to your shoulder. Multiple shooters report noticeable recoil reduction—some estimate around 15%—which helps maintain form and comfort during long sessions. The benefit does diminish after the first firing if you reload, since the wad gets compressed.

Are these good for trap, skeet, or both?

They work well for both, though they're optimized for skeet and short-range trap where 7/8 oz loads shine. The #9 shot and 1210 fps velocity deliver excellent pattern density for breaking clays at typical competition distances. Some trap competitors prefer heavier loads or larger shot sizes, so it depends on your style and the yardage you typically shoot from.

Can I reload these shells?

Yes, the hulls can be reloaded. However, the Gordon System base wad is a designed part of the hull that functions primarily on the first firing. After reloading, you'll lose most of the recoil-reducing benefit since the base wad won't compress the same way. That said, the brass quality is good and many reloaders use them successfully.

How do they pattern compared to other 20 gauge target loads?

The graphite-coated lead shot with 5% antimony gives consistent, tight patterns. You'll need to pattern them in your specific gun and with your chokes, but the feedback from range shooters is that B&P Competition One delivers uniform performance from box to box, which makes them reliable for serious practice and competition work.
