Description
Fiocchi's Exacta VIP Heavy is engineered specifically for the clay target shooter who takes their game seriously. Built on a 50-year tradition of supporting trap, skeet, sporting clays, and FITASC competition, these purple shells deliver the kind of consistent performance that separates practice sessions from competition days.
Exacta VIP Heavy Load Performance
Each 2.75-inch shell packs a familiar 7/8 ounce payload of #8 lead shot, propelled at 1250 fps for confident breaks across everything from 25-yard targets to longer presentations. This payload and velocity combination gives you excellent pattern density while keeping recoil manageable enough for extended range sessions. The #8 shot size loads more pellets into your pattern, making it ideal for the majority of target presentations you'll encounter inside 40 yards.
Premium Components and Precision Loading
What sets the VIP Heavy apart is the engineering behind it. Fiocchi sources premium components and applies strict loading tolerances throughout the manufacturing process. These aren't budget loads dressed up in purple hulls. Every box gets the same attention to detail that's built Fiocchi's reputation in the competition world. If you've seen these shells win matches or noticed them on the benches at your local club, you know the track record speaks for itself.
Built for Range and Match Days
The 25-round packaging fits perfectly into your shooting bag, and the 10-box case quantities align with typical tournament schedules and range day practice needs. These shells feed smoothly through standard 2.75-inch target barrels and will pattern consistently from session to session. Whether you're dialing in your gun for a big match or running a casual Thursday night league, the Exacta VIP Heavy gives you one less variable to worry about.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Fiocchi Exacta VIP different from standard target loads?
The VIP line uses premium components and precision loading techniques to deliver superior consistency. You get tighter shot tolerances, better pattern density, and round-to-round velocity uniformity compared to promotional-grade loads. Fiocchi uses these shells in their premium Exacta line specifically because competitive shooters demand that level of reliability.
Are these shells suitable for 20 gauge shotguns?
Yes, these 2.75-inch shells work with any modern 20 gauge shotgun chambered for standard 2.75-inch loads. They feed smoothly through semi-autos, pumps, and over-unders. The 1250 fps velocity is well within normal ranges for 20 gauge target barrels.
Why would I choose 7/8 oz #8 shot over heavier loads?
This payload and shot size combination puts more pellets in your pattern than heavier loads while keeping recoil manageable for extended practice sessions. The #8 shot works for the majority of clay presentations inside 40 yards and is widely recommended by instruction pros for balanced performance and shooter comfort.
Can I reload these shells?
Yes. The Exacta VIP Heavy uses a plastic hull with a Boxer primer, making them reloadable. Many competitive shooters reload these to extend the life of the shells and reduce long-term cost.
