Description
The Remington Premier STS is what serious clay shooters reach for when consistency matters. Built around shot-to-shot reliability and reloadability, these 2.75 inch shells pack a 1 1/8 ounce payload of #7.5 lead shot at 1145 fps, making them ideal for trap, skeet, and sporting clays.
Why the Premier STS Stands Out
Remington's shot tower produces perfectly rounded, high-antimony lead pellets that pattern with impressive uniformity. The #7.5 shot size carries more energy per pellet compared to smaller sizes, making it the go-to choice for longer presentations and distant targets where energy retention matters. These shells have won more trophies at major competitions like the Grand American than any other brand, and that track record reflects what you'll experience on the range.
Built for the Reloading Bench
The iconic green polyethylene hull isn't just for looks. It endures multiple reloads better than most alternatives, which means your investment in a case of STS shells keeps giving. The smooth hull finish feeds reliably in competition guns, and the unibody design handles the pressures of repeated reloads without falling apart. The Power Piston wad works as a barrier between powder and pellets while managing recoil and optimizing pattern performance.
Performance That Works
With a velocity of 1145 fps, this load sits in the sweet spot for clay target sports. It's fast enough to reach distant birds without excessive recoil, which matters when you're shooting 100+ rounds in a session. The consistent velocities and balanced powder charge mean you get predictable patterns from shot to shot, so missed birds aren't surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose #7.5 shot for sporting clays when #8 is more common?
#7.5 shot carries more energy per pellet and is preferred for the longer crossing shots typical in sporting clays and trap. While #8 offers more pellets in the shell, the slightly larger #7.5 pellets retain energy better at distance, making them the standard choice for competitive shooters tackling varied presentations.
Are Premier STS shells good for reloading?
Yes, they're considered among the best reloadable hulls available. The green polyethylene construction endures multiple reloads without failing, and the smooth finish, unibody design, and solid brass head make them easier to reload than many competitors. Many reloaders specifically stock STS hulls for this reason.
What's the difference between the Premier STS and Premier Nitro Sporting Clays?
Both use high-antimony lead shot and reloadable hulls, but the Nitro line runs at higher velocities (typically 1300 fps or more) for longer-range presentations. The STS at 1145 fps provides a softer shooting experience while maintaining reliability. Choose based on your target distances and recoil preference.
Can I use these for hunting small game?
While technically capable of taking dove or small upland birds, these are designed and built specifically for clay targets. The lighter payloads and lower velocities prioritize consistent patterns over knockdown power. Hunting loads are engineered differently and are a better choice for game applications.
