Description
If you spend time on the trap or sporting clays range, you've probably seen the gold hulls of Remington Premier Nitro shells. There's a reason these have become the go-to for dedicated competitors. These 12 gauge shells deliver a 1 ounce payload of #7.5 shot at 1350 fps, which gives you the velocity you need for those longer crossers and distant targets while keeping your lead picture more natural.
What Makes These Remington Shells Stand Out
The real standout feature is that distinctive gold hull. It's not just for looks. That hull design has earned a solid reputation for being one of the most reloader-friendly patterns you'll find in the clay target world. If you reload, you'll appreciate the durable plastic construction that holds up through multiple cycles. The Power Piston wad distributes pressure evenly across the shot column, which means tighter, more uniform patterns from shot to shot.
Why #7.5 Shot for Clay Targets
There's a reason #7.5 is so popular for sporting clays. Each pellet carries more energy than smaller shot sizes, which matters when you're breaking targets at 40+ yards or dealing with edge-on presentations. You get fewer pellets per load compared to #8 or #9, but the ones that connect do the job better. The larger pellets retain their velocity downrange, making them especially effective on rabbits and other tougher clay presentations.
Built for the Range
Consistent velocities and pattern uniformity are what separate practice shells from tournament-grade ammunition, and that's what you're getting here. These loads have found their way into shooters' vests at major trap, skeet, and sporting clays events nationwide. The 25 rounds per box means you can work through a full station or two without reloading your vest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Remington Premier Nitro shells reloadable?
Yes. These shells are known for their reloader-friendly gold hull design, which is durable enough to handle multiple reloading cycles. The solid brass heads and smooth hull construction make them popular with handloaders who want hulls that will last through many uses.
What's the difference between #7.5 and #8 shot for sporting clays?
The #7.5 pellets are larger and heavier, giving each pellet more energy to break targets at longer distances. You get fewer pellets per load, but they carry better downrange. #8 offers more pellets for a denser pattern at closer ranges. Most experienced clay shooters prefer #7.5 for longer targets and tougher presentations like edge-on or angled rabbits.
How does the 1350 fps velocity compare to other clay target loads?
At 1350 fps, these Premier Nitro shells run on the higher end of the velocity spectrum for target loads. That extra velocity gives you a flatter trajectory and more natural lead pictures on longer birds. It's especially useful for crossers and other targets that require more predictable bullet flight. Some competition shooters prefer this higher velocity for consistency across different distances.
Can I use these for dove hunting?
Yes. Remington actually markets these as capable high-velocity dove loads alongside their clay target applications. The 1 ounce payload of #7.5 shot and 1350 fps velocity work well for dove hunting, though they're optimized for clay target shooting.
