B&P Competition One 12 Gauge Ammo 2 3/4" 7/8 oz #9 Lead Shot - 12B78CP9
The B&P Competition One is a 12 gauge target shotshell loaded with 7/8 oz of lead #9 shot at 1160 fps. Built around B&P's Gordon System hull, this 2 3/4" shell is designed for clay target training and competition where light recoil and consistent patterns are the priority. The pre-cut wad design promotes uniform pattern deployment downrange, making it a practical choice for shooters who want a softer shooting option without sacrificing pattern performance. This load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, with bulk case orders shipping free through Target Sports USA.
Features and Specifications:
- 7/8 oz #9 Lead Shot: A lighter payload loaded with #9 shot, producing a high pellet count for dense patterns at the close to mid-range distances typical of skeet shooting
- 1160 fps Velocity: A consistent velocity level suited for extended training sessions where recoil management is the priority.
- Gordon System Hull: B&P's proprietary hull construction is engineered to reduce felt recoil, supporting consistent performance across high round count sessions.
- Pre-Cut Wad Design: The wad opens consistently during flight to help maintain uniform, predictable patterns downrange.
- Clean-Burning B&P Powder: The powder formulation is designed to minimize fouling while maintaining consistent velocities throughout a shooting session.
- Case of 250 Rounds: This 12 gauge bulk ammo ships in cases of 250, packed as 10 boxes of 25 rounds each.
Deep Dive
Overview
This 12 gauge ammo is intended for clay target training and competition, with a particular fit for skeet and close-range sporting clays presentations. The 7/8 oz payload is the lightest option in the Competition One 12 gauge lineup, producing the least recoil per shot and making it a practical choice for shooters managing fatigue across full competition days. The #9 shot size delivers a high pellet count from the lighter payload, maintaining effective pattern density at close presentation distances. Shooters looking for a soft-shooting 12 gauge training load that still delivers consistent patterns will find this a well-suited option for regular range use.
History and Development
Baschieri & Pellagri has been manufacturing shotshells since 1885, building its identity around precision loading, in-house powder development, and purpose-specific product design. The Competition One line was developed as B&P's dedicated training and competition offering, covering a wide range of gauges, payloads, shot sizes, and velocities to fit the needs of shooters across multiple clay target disciplines. The company develops its own powder formulations, maintaining direct control over burn rate and fouling characteristics across its product lines. That focus on component-level engineering has been central to the B&P brand throughout its history.
Common Questions and FAQs
- What clay target disciplines is this load best suited for?
The Competition One 7/8 oz #9 load is best suited for skeet and close-range sporting clays presentations where a dense pattern at shorter distances is the priority. The lighter payload makes it a comfortable option for shooters who want to reduce felt recoil during long training sessions.
- What does the pre-cut wad do?
The pre-cut wad is designed to open consistently as it exits the muzzle, helping the shot charge deploy in a uniform pattern.
- What does the Gordon System hull do?
The Gordon System hull is engineered to absorb recoil at the base of the shell, reducing felt recoil compared to a standard hull construction.
- How is this load packaged?
This load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, consisting of 10 boxes of 25 rounds each.

Why It Stands Out:
The B&P Competition One 12 Gauge 7/8 oz #9 Shot is the lightest recoiling option in the Competition One 12 gauge lineup, built for clay shooters who want a soft-shooting training load without stepping away from a purpose-built competition shell. The pre-cut wad, Gordon System hull, and high pellet count #9 payload work together to deliver consistent patterns with minimal recoil. Packaged in cases of 250, it is a practical option for skeet shooters who train regularly and want a comfortable 12 gauge load for long sessions at the range.
