The Baschieri & Pellagri Competition One line delivers consistent, predictable performance for clay target disciplines. These 7/8-ounce loads at 1160 fps strike the balance between soft recoil and breaking power that competitive shooters demand during long days on the range or in competition.
The Competition One series incorporates B&P's proprietary Gordon System, a collapsible base wad design that noticeably reduces felt recoil without sacrificing velocity or pattern integrity. The softer shooting experience means you can run through full rounds and entire practice sessions while maintaining your form and focus. This technology sets these shells apart from standard target loads, making them particularly suited for high-volume shooting where fatigue and recoil management directly impact accuracy.
Loaded with graphite-coated lead alloy shot containing 5% antimony, these shells produce tight, predictable patterns downrange. The #7.5 shot size represents the sweet spot for trap shooting, offering more pellets than larger shot while maintaining sufficient pellet weight to break targets decisively from typical yardages. The 2-3/4 inch hull is standard across competitive trap venues, making these shells compatible with any competition or practice setup.
These hulls are fully reloadable, though they require a small-diameter depriming post due to the Gordon System's flash hole design. Once fired, the base wad doesn't fully collapse, so reloaded rounds maintain a portion of the recoil reduction benefit. Each case contains 250 rounds, packaged in 25-round boxes for convenient handling and tracking during shooting events.
The Gordon System features a collapsible base wad that absorbs recoil energy, resulting in noticeably softer shooting. This reduces felt recoil without compromising velocity or pattern consistency, allowing you to maintain form and accuracy through extended shooting sessions. The hull is also reloadable, and reloaded rounds retain some of this recoil reduction benefit.
Yes, the 2-3/4 inch 7/8-ounce load at 1160 fps meets Amateur Trapshooting Association standards. The #7.5 shot size and velocity fall within ATA regulations for sanctioned trap shooting. However, you should verify your specific competition organization's rules before competing.
Number 7.5 offers a middle ground between shot density and individual pellet weight. The larger pellets hit harder than #8, which many shooters prefer for consistent target breaks, especially at longer distances. The choice between #7.5 and #8 typically comes down to personal preference and how your particular shotgun patterns with each load.
Yes, the hulls are reloadable. However, reloading requires a small-diameter depriming post because the Gordon System flash hole is quite small. After the first firing, the base wad doesn't fully collapse, so reloaded rounds will still benefit from some recoil reduction compared to standard ammunition hulls.
