Description
When you're spending a day at the range or competing, every round needs to perform the same way. Remington's Premier Nitro Sporting Clays load does exactly that, giving you the consistency that separates good practice from real progress.
Premier Nitro Sporting Clays Construction and Performance
This 1 1/8 oz charge of No. 8 shot hits the board at 1300 fps, giving you the velocity needed to reach distant targets without sacrificing pattern density. The harder, high-antimony shot holds together through the air, and the Power Piston wad delivers uniform patterns across your shots. Whether you're working close-in rabbits or stretching for far crossers, the No. 8 pellet size gives you plenty of them in every shell, creating that tight wall of lead that turns clay targets into dust.
What Makes These Shells Worth Reloading
The real value shows up after your shooting day ends. Those green Remington hulls are built for the reloading bench, known throughout the sport for withstanding 8 to 10 reloads per hull depending on your load data. That durability matters when you're going through hundreds of rounds a season. You get excellent hull uniformity right out of the box, which translates to consistent handloads and more time shooting instead of sorting components.
Right Load for Your Game
Since a standard round of sporting clays runs 100 targets, you'll want a few boxes on hand. These shells work equally well for trap and skeet, and many folks use them year-round for field work on doves and small upland birds. The 2 3/4-inch chamber length means they cycle in any standard 12-gauge shotgun, from pumps to semi-automatics to over-and-unders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these Premier Nitro shells reloadable?
Yes, the green unibody hulls are designed for reloading and can typically withstand 8 to 10 reloads per hull depending on your load data. Many reloaders appreciate them for uniform dimensions and consistent performance from one reload to the next.
What's the difference between No. 8 shot and the 7.5 option?
No. 8 shot packs more pellets into each shell, creating denser patterns that work great for close-to-mid-range targets like incoming birds and technical presentations. No. 7.5 uses fewer, larger pellets that retain more energy for longer-range edge-on shots. Most people pick based on the typical distances at their home range.
Will these shells work in my shotgun?
These are standard 2 3/4-inch shells that work in any 12-gauge shotgun, including semi-automatics, pump guns, and over-and-unders. Just confirm your shotgun's chamber can handle 2 3/4-inch shells, which almost all 12-gauges do.
How many boxes do I need for a typical day of sporting clays?
A standard round of sporting clays runs 100 targets, so one box of 25 gets you through one round. Most people bring multiple boxes for practice rounds, extra attempts on tough pairs, or to lend a few to friends who run short.
