Fiocchi's VIP line represents a proven formula for target shooters who want quality ammo without overthinking it. These 20 gauge shells come loaded with 7/8 oz of #9 lead shot traveling at 1200 feet per second, which is exactly what most competitive and recreational clay shooters are reaching for. The payload and velocity combo gives you predictable patterns and smooth shooting, whether you're working through practice rounds or a match day.
What you're getting here is the result of decades of support for trap, skeet, and sporting clays shooting. Fiocchi knows this market inside and out, and it shows in how these shells perform shot to shot. The VIP line is loaded to strict tolerances using quality components, which means you're not dealing with variance that'll throw off your performance. Each box contains 25 rounds packed for convenience at the range.
The #9 shot size is popular in skeet and target work because more pellets per ounce means tighter patterns at typical clay shooting distances. Combined with the 1200 fps velocity, you get consistent energy transfer on target breakage without excessive recoil. This is a lighter, more manageable load than heavier 12 gauge options, making it easier to shoot extended practice sessions without fatigue.
Shooting a 20 gauge for clays gives you lower recoil and less weight to swing all day, which leads to better scores for many shooters. While the 12 gauge may carry more shot volume, the 20 with the right load won't put you at a real disadvantage on most clay courses. The 7/8 oz standard payload for 20 gauge clays work is included here, keeping things familiar if you already shoot this gauge.
VIP shells are loaded to tighter tolerances using premium components, meaning more consistent shot-to-shot performance than standard target loads. They're based on a legacy of competitive shooting development, so you get ammo that's proven at the range and in matches. The tradeoff is they cost more than budget options, but most shooters feel the consistency is worth it for regular range time.
These shells work in most modern 20 gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75-inch shells. Check your gun's chamber marking to confirm it accepts 2.75-inch ammo. If you're unsure, consult your shotgun's manual or talk to a knowledgeable gunsmith. Once confirmed, they'll function reliably in both semi-auto and over-under platforms.
Number 9 shot is particularly popular in skeet, though it works fine for sporting clays if you're shooting shorter to mid-range targets. For longer sporting clays presentations, many shooters prefer #8 or #7.5 shot for denser patterns at distance. It comes down to your courses and personal preference, so patterning your gun at the distances you typically shoot is the best way to decide.
A 7/8 ounce load of #9 shot contains approximately 380-390 pellets per shell, depending on shot hardness and exact loading. More pellets per ounce means a denser pattern, which is why #9 is favored for targets like clay pigeons. The exact count isn't critical as long as you understand that smaller shot numbers give you more pellets in the same weight.
