What fastest sporting clay shells.

[hnachaj1]

if I remember, it was 10 shots of each loading.

I believe this is 24g (approx. 7/8 Ounce) at 1,360 FPS.

Yes it is.

The perfect training round for the passer by enquiring about sporting clays. Dogs welcome.

And the round for people who like, and will never make a competitive course. Like old dumbass bluelynx.

And a round designed for beginners as you progress through the exciting land of sporting clays.

Thank you twiki.

Addendum. To stubblejumber. Nothing makes better shotgun skills than drilling on a skeet range.

OK. now hit me.

So many people think faster is better! but it isn't, necessarily. Lead shot loads don't respond well to faster velocity - patterns tend to suffer, with more deformed pellets and very little if any increase in target breaking ability per individual pellet. Longer shot strings are another fault of high velocity lead loads. An unskilled shooter may scratch down a few more targets with a stray pellet from a long shot string, but a good shooter will get fewer solid hits. And recoil is a real problem too. Nobody shoots better with more recoil, less is better. Target shot shells have been pretty much perfected over the last hundred years, most of the "new and improved" stuff is marketing. Exceptions abound for hunting loads, but that's another topic.

Kent 1450 fps if your want to punish yourself.

I'll pass...

Fast loads won't help salty old farts like myself but a young shooter with good eyes and fast reflexes can work wonders with nickel shot and fast loads on long hard crossing targets. There is a place for fast loads and long shot strings if you are able and know how to work with them.

Anyone who plans to shoot one or two hundred hi vel loads at sporting clays in a day better take a bottle of Tylenol with them and make an appointment with their chiropractor for the next day to get their neck put back together!

I think I would argue for consistency. Your brain is building a library of target breaks. For me, it's all 1200 +/- 50. I'm easily confused and shoot badly anyway.

These are my two favorite factory loads.

Those are my favourites as well. Just prefer 7.5 shot in the Light Sporting. Kind of a shame they quit making them.

The reason there’s a difference between the speeds of shells Between North America and Europe is in the measuring process. Europeans report a velocity at the muzzle, whereas in North America, it’s the speed 3 feet from the muzzle.

So our 1350 and 1450 shells are the same as their bigger numbered counterparts.

The real question is, why would you want higher velocity shells?? All you truly do is beat yourself up with more recoil. If you look at a chart for pellet energy at a particular distance, you’ll notice that shell at 1145 FPS and 1300 FPS end up with very similar amounts of energy somewhere between 30 and 40 yards.

It is the inverse Square law at work the faster you go the more drag you generate. The faster you slow down.

Fast shells are pointless.
