A universal receiver, combined with an ultra-sensitive “quartz pressure transducer” and sophisticated chronograph system are used to test pressures and velocities. All other parameters are consistently inspected to insure quality control. High tech innovations make their sure-fire primers consistent shot after shot. Slow burning powders offer unequalled performances; very light recoil, and less shot deformation. The one piece plastic wad, whether double or single piston, ensures the shooter with more clay busting and game getting performance. A tubular reducer increases the impact power and leaves the penetrating roundness of the shot unaltered. The extra hard high antimony lead shot offers a dramatic improvement in ballistic result, maximum penetration and denser patterns.","brand":"Target Sports USA","offers":[{"title":"Box of 25","offer_id":55587027157160,"sku":"TSCTA2075","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Case of 250 (10 Boxes of 25)","offer_id":55587027189928,"sku":"TSCTA2075-10","price":99.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/0169\/9496\/files\/2_3_4_7_8oz_7_1_2_Shot-Challenger__Challenger_Target_Load_20_Gauge_Ammo-112930.jpg?v=1786636933"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.targetsportsusa.com\/collections\/challenger-ammo-m-2861.oembed","provider":"Target Sports USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
