B&P Competition One 12 Gauge Ammo 2 3/4" 1 oz #8 Lead Shot - 12B1CP8

B&P Competition One 12 Gauge Ammo 2 3/4" 1 oz #8 Lead Shot - 12B1CP8

The B&P Competition One is a 12 gauge target shotshell loaded with 1 oz of lead #8 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 pattern consistency and manageable recoil are the priority. The pre-cut wad design promotes uniform pattern deployment downrange, making it a practical choice for shooters refining their technique across long training sessions. This load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, with bulk case orders shipping free through Target Sports USA.

Features and Specifications:

• 1 oz #8 Lead Shot: The standard competition payload for clay target disciplines, delivering the pellet density needed for consistent breaks at typical presentation distances.
• 1160 fps Velocity: A lower velocity load suited for extended training sessions where reduced recoil fatigue is the priority over maximum speed.
• 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, including trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The 1 oz #8 payload at 1160 fps keeps recoil manageable across long training days, reducing fatigue for shooters who put significant round counts through their gun. The #8 shot size is the standard choice for most clay disciplines, making this a versatile training load across multiple target shooting formats. Shooters looking for a 12 gauge training load that delivers consistent pattern performance with comfortable recoil will find the Competition One a practical fit 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 suited for?
  The Competition One 1 oz #8 load is suited for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The #8 shot size is the standard choice across most clay disciplines, making this a versatile option for shooters who compete or train across multiple formats.
• 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. This is particularly useful for training loads where shooters are putting high round counts through their gun in a single session.
• Will this load cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns?
  At 1160 fps, this load is on the lower end of the velocity range for cycling semi-automatic shotguns. Shooters with gas-operated guns should confirm their minimum load requirements before relying on this shell for competition use.
• How is this load packaged?
  This load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, consisting of 10 boxes of 25 rounds each.

• Competition / Target

Why It Stands Out:

The B&P Competition One 12 Gauge 1 oz #8 Shot is a training-focused target load built for clay shooters who want a consistent, comfortable shell for long range sessions. The pre-cut wad, Gordon System hull, and standard 1 oz #8 payload work together to deliver reliable pattern performance with manageable recoil across trap, skeet, and sporting clays. Packaged in cases of 250, it is a practical bulk buy for shooters who train regularly and want a purpose-built 12 gauge training load from a proven Italian manufacturer.
