B&P Competition One loads have earned a strong following among serious clay target competitors and training shooters. Built with high-quality Italian components and loaded domestically for American distribution, these sub-gauge shells bring legit target performance to 28 gauge shooters who demand soft recoil without sacrificing pattern consistency.
The heart of these shells is Baschieri and Pellagri's Gordon Case System, a compressible wad base that acts as a shock absorber. This tech reduces felt recoil noticeably, letting you shoot longer practice sessions or extended competitions without your shoulder paying the price. Paired with lead shot hardened to exactly 3% antimony, the load produces uniform patterns downrange. The 3/4 oz payload at 1280 fps hits the sweet spot for clay target work, giving you plenty of pellets while staying manageable in a lightweight gauge.
The #8 shot size is built for contemporary clay target sports where precision matters more than payload. At distance and with proper choke, these patterns hold together nicely. Real-world testing shows clean, evenly distributed shot in the pattern, no flyers or gaps that let targets escape. The load breaks clay targets hard when you put it where it needs to go, and sub-gauge shooters report excellent results at skeet fields, trap houses, and sporting clays courses.
B&P Competition One gets overlooked sometimes because they're marketed as training ammo, but that's largely marketing speak. These shells are at home in tournament competition just as easily as practice. The soft recoil actually helps rather than hinders performance over long shooting days by keeping form sharp and fatigue low. You're getting the same Gordon System technology and component quality as their premium lines, just at a more sensible price point.
The Gordon System uses a compressible wad base that absorbs recoil energy, significantly reducing felt kick compared to standard target loads. This matters a lot in sub-gauges where lighter weight guns would otherwise produce uncomfortable recoil, and it lets you shoot longer sessions while maintaining better form.
Absolutely. While marketed as training ammo, these shells break clay targets reliably and are shot in actual competitions. The soft recoil is an advantage over long shooting days, not a drawback. Many competitive clay shooters use them exclusively or rotate them into their regular rotation.
The 3/4 oz payload is standard for 28 gauge target work, and #8 shot is ideal for clay targets where you need higher pellet count and pattern density over energy. At 1280 fps velocity, this load delivers good patterns out to reasonable ranges when matched with appropriate chokes.
B&P Competition One works across trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The 28 gauge itself is lighter recoiling and quicker handling than 12 or 20 gauge, and these shells complement that with their soft-shooting characteristics. They pair well with smaller-frame shotguns built for sub-gauge events.
