I did not realize 7.5 shot was not allowed.

Not allowed in the international game. Perfectly acceptable with the Amateur Trap Association. Those who show up with 7 1/2 shot at one of our shoots are allowed to shoot, if they wish, but they are considered 'recreational' class and not eligible win any championships or trophies.

If you're in the market for 24 gram loads, you'll notice that they're only available in 8 and 9-shot.

Is that a new rule?

No, more like an old fool. I'm confusing two completely different things.

International trap remains 7 1/2 shot or smaller. Sorry for any confusion I caused.
