Description
If you shoot trap from the 27-yard handicap line or tackle the longer sporting clay stations, the Remington Premier Nitro 27 was designed for exactly what you're doing. These shells pack a 1 ounce charge of #7.5 shot, which keeps your payload lighter than standard loads while staying within handicap rules. That smaller amount of shot means less recoil, which matters when you're working through a long string of targets. You stay fresher, your gun comes back to your shoulder easier, and your scores stay consistent.
Nitro 27 Velocity and Pattern Performance
The real story here is the 1290 fps velocity paired with improved powder loading. You get enough speed to handle distance without the punishment of heavier loads. The hard lead shot from Remington's shot tower is perfectly round, which keeps your patterns tight even when you're shooting from extreme range. Trap fields and clay courses have learned to trust these shells for a reason.
Building Shells Worth Reloading
The Unibody hull with its brass head is engineered for multiple reloads. The smooth gold plastic and solid brass base give you reliable, repeatable performance every time you run it through the press. That hull longevity matters whether you're stacking 10 thousand reloads or just stretching your dollar on practice rounds. The construction quality means less hassle and fewer surprises at the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Nitro 27 different from other trap loads?
The Premier Nitro 27 is specifically tuned for handicap trap at 27 yards and beyond. The 1 ounce payload keeps weight down for reduced felt recoil while the 1290 fps velocity stays fast enough to reach distant targets. The improved powder formula and hard lead shot deliver consistent patterns that stay tight at long range.
Are Remington Nitro 27 hulls good for reloading?
Yes. The Unibody hull with brass head is built to last through multiple reload cycles. The solid brass base slides smoothly through resizing, and the sturdy construction holds up better than budget alternatives. Reloaders regularly get numerous loads from these hulls before they show wear.
Will these work for sporting clays too?
Absolutely. The Nitro 27 is equally effective at long-range sporting clay stations. The fast velocity and tight patterns make it a solid choice for any course where distance is a factor, and the reduced recoil helps you stay sharp across multiple stations.
What's the pellet count in a 1 ounce load of #7.5 shot?
A 1 ounce charge of #7.5 lead shot contains approximately 350 pellets. This density is good for breaking clay targets at extended ranges while maintaining pattern consistency through your entire string.
