Description
If you're grinding through handicap trap or stepping back for extended yardage sporting clays, these shells were engineered with your setup in mind. The Premier Nitro 27 delivers what the name promises: consistent velocity and uniform patterns that keep your scores tight when it matters most.
What Makes These Handicap Loads Different
The Nitro 27 designation means enhanced performance across the board. You get 1 1/8 ounces of hard, high-antimony lead shot moving at 1235 fps, paired with an improved powder loading that genuinely reduces felt recoil while maintaining the downrange energy serious trap competitors demand. This combination lets you stay fresh through long events without sacrificing the velocity needed for those distant targets. The 7.5 shot size is the standard choice for handicap trap where the extra pellet size gives you better penetration and break reliability compared to smaller shot.
Built for Reloaders Too
These come in the iconic green Remington unibody hull, which means you're getting one of the most reloadable shotshells on the market. The brass-head construction withstands multiple reload cycles, making these shells an investment rather than a one-time expense. Reloaders consistently choose STS and Nitro hulls over other options because they handle press work smoothly and hold up through numerous cycles.
Competition Pedigree
Remington has earned more Grand American trophies and sold more shells at the competition than any other ammunition brand. These loads are what serious clay competitors reach for when they need precision at distance. The 25-round box means you've got a convenient format for range sessions or registered events, and the 2.75-inch specification keeps you legal for just about any competition rulebook.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these Nitro 27 shells reloadable?
Yes, these come with the green Remington unibody hull with a brass head, which is one of the most reloadable shotshell hulls available. Reloaders typically get multiple reload cycles out of these shells. The hull design is straightforward to work with in most progressive and single-stage presses.
What distance are #7.5 shot best for in trap shooting?
The #7.5 shot size is the standard choice for handicap trap where you're shooting from 20-27 yards and beyond. These larger pellets retain more energy downrange and penetrate better at distance compared to #8 shot, making them preferred when you need harder-hitting performance at extended yardage.
How do these compare for felt recoil?
The improved powder loading in these Nitro 27 loads significantly reduces felt recoil compared to standard trap loads while maintaining that high velocity. This is a key feature that lets you stay comfortable and fresh through long shooting events, especially important during tournament competition where fatigue affects accuracy.
Can I use these for sporting clays or just trap?
These work great for both long-range sporting clays and handicap trap. They're specifically designed for back-fence trap and extended yardage clay shooting where consistent patterns and hard-hitting performance matter. Many sporting clays competitors use them, especially on courses with longer shots.
