Description
The Competition One 410 Bore from Baschieri & Pellagri brings decades of Italian ammunition craftsmanship to your range sessions and clay targets. Built with specialized components including quality lead shot and advanced wads, these shells deliver the kind of consistent patterns you need when you're working on technique or competing.
What Makes Competition One 410 Stand Out
These shells pack a 1/2 oz payload of #8 shot at 1210 feet per second, which hits that sweet spot for tight, manageable patterns at reasonable distances. The combination of small pellets and moderate velocity creates dense shot columns that work well for precision target work. Whether you're shooting skeet, trap, or just practicing with clays at the range, this load is engineered to help you see your shot placement clearly. The 2-1/2 inch brass-based plastic hull is standard for 410 bore shotguns and chambers properly across the board.
Gordon System Recoil Reduction
Barschieri & Pellagri built these shells with their patented Gordon System technology, a conical cartridge case design that functions like a progressive spring system to absorb recoil impulse. After a long afternoon of shooting, you'll notice the difference. Less felt recoil means better follow-up shots, more comfortable practice sessions, and the ability to focus on your technique rather than flinching or anticipating the kick. This becomes especially valuable when you're working through ammunition by the case.
Built for Serious Practice
These aren't compromise shells. They come loaded with quality components including hard lead shot and carefully selected powders that burn cleanly. The 250-round case means you've got plenty of ammunition to work with, making it practical for range days where you want to put in real time on technique or work on your competitive form. The hulls are also reloadable if you decide to get into handloading down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is #8 shot best used for with a 410?
Number 8 shot is the go-to choice for clay target shooting, including skeet, trap, and sporting clays with a 410 bore. The small pellets create tight, consistent patterns at typical shooting distances (15-25 yards), making them ideal for precision practice and competition. It's not designed for hunting game, but works well for target practice and skill development.
Can I use Competition One 410 shells in any 410 shotgun?
These are 2-1/2 inch shells, so they'll cycle in any 410 bore shotgun chambered for 2-1/2 inch or longer shells. Check your shotgun's barrel markings to verify the chamber length. Most modern 410 shotguns accept 2-1/2 inch shells without issue, but older firearms should be confirmed before use.
What's the difference between Competition One and other target loads?
Competition One shells feature Baschieri & Pellagri's Gordon System technology, which reduces recoil through a specially designed conical case that absorbs impact. This means less felt kick and fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The shells are also loaded with quality components and consistent powders, delivering reliable patterns shot after shot for serious practice and competitive use.
Are these shells reloadable?
Yes, the plastic hulls with brass bases are designed to be reloadable. The quality construction means they hold up well through multiple reloads. If you plan to reload, inspect the hulls for uniformity and damage before processing them, and follow proper reloading procedures for your specific equipment.
