Description
The Fiocchi 3-Gun Match line exists for one reason: to help you win. These shells were engineered from the ground up in cooperation with professional 3-gunner Jerry Miculek, a shooter with 20 world speed shooting records to his name. What sets them apart comes down to one critical detail: the firm, radiused crimp that makes these loads load and reload faster than standard shotshells during timed competition stages.
What Makes 3-Gun Match Shells Different
Speed matters in competition, and this is where the 3-Gun Match design shines. That signature radiused crimp isn't just marketing talk—it's a real mechanical advantage when you're feeding rounds into the mag tube under the pressure of a match. The 1-1/8 ounce payload of #7.5 shot at 1200 fps is the sweet spot for most 3-gun competitors, giving you enough pattern density to break clay targets and drop steel without the overkill recoil of heavier loads.
Performance You Can Trust
These aren't bargain-basement rounds. Fiocchi has been making shotshell ammunition since 1876, and that heritage shows in the quality of components and consistency round to round. The #7.5 shot size balances the tight patterns needed for precision with enough pellet count for reliable hits on reactive targets. At 1200 fps, velocity stays in the competitive sweet spot that works reliably in most semi-auto shotguns without excessive felt recoil.
Built for How You Actually Shoot
Whether you're training for your first match or grinding through practice sessions to dial in your technique, these shells handle the volume shooting that competition prep demands. The standard 2.75-inch length makes them compatible with any 12-gauge shotgun chambered for standard shells, and the 25-round box is the size you'll grab for a range day or local match.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's special about the crimp on these 3-Gun Match shells?
The firm, radiused crimp is engineered specifically for fast speed loading during competition. It holds its shape better and feeds more consistently into the magazine tube compared to standard crimps, which matters when every tenth of a second counts during timed stages.
Will these work in my gas-operated semi-auto shotgun?
These are loaded soft by competition standards, meaning they generate less recoil but may not cycle reliably in all gas-operated guns. They work best in inertia-driven semi-autos or pump actions. If you shoot a gas gun, cycle a test round through your specific shotgun before match day to verify reliable function.
Are #7.5 shot and 1-1/8 oz the standard for 3-gun?
Yes, 1-1/8 ounce of #7.5 shot has become the most common load among 3-gun competitors. This combination provides the pattern density needed to break clays and knock down steel targets reliably while keeping recoil low enough for fast target transitions and recovery.
Can I use these for clay shooting or just competition?
While designed for competition, these work fine for trap, skeet, and sporting clays practice. The #7.5 shot size is well-suited for clay targets, and the soft recoil makes extended practice sessions more comfortable. Just verify they run reliably in your specific shotgun first.
