Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics 12 Gauge Ammo 2

About this product

Fiocchi's Shooting Dynamics line is a 12-gauge, 2-3/4-inch target/shooting load built for clay sports, sold here in a box of 25 shells at $8.50. That per-box price is derived from a common 250-round case price of $84.99 (ten boxes of 25) rather than a single directly listed per-box retail figure, since Fiocchi doesn't publish an official per-box MSRP for this line.

What is a "target load," and how is it different from hunting ammunition?

Target loads like Shooting Dynamics are built specifically for trap, skeet, and sporting clays rather than hunting, which means lighter recoil, lower cost per round, and shot sizes and payload weights suited to breaking clay targets rather than harvesting game. Fiocchi builds the line around first-run chilled lead shot loaded into a one-piece shot cup with a cushioning wad, which helps keep pellet patterns more consistent shot-to-shot than reclaimed or lower-grade shot can manage.

What load specifications does the Shooting Dynamics line typically run?

Across its 12-gauge target loads, Fiocchi offers configurations around 1 ounce and 1-1/8 ounce of shot, generally in the #7.5, #8, and #9 shot sizes commonly used for clay sports, with muzzle velocities in roughly the 1,150 to 1,250 feet-per-second range depending on the specific load. This listing's exact shot size and payload weren't independently confirmed, so buyers who need a specific shot size for a particular game or discipline should confirm the exact spec with our team before ordering.

Why buy target loads instead of premium hunting shells for casual shooting?

Target ammunition like this is meaningfully cheaper per round than premium hunting loads, since it doesn't need the heavier shot charges, harder-alloy pellets, or specialized wad designs built for downrange lethality on game. For range days, pattern-testing a new shotgun, or clay sports, that lower cost per round is the entire point — you can shoot enough volume to actually build skill without the per-box cost of hunting-grade shells.

What should I check before ordering a case quantity?

Because the per-box price here is derived from a bulk case price rather than a standalone box listing, confirm with our team whether this specific order is for a single 25-round box or part of a larger case quantity, and confirm the exact shot size if your shotgun's choke or your intended clay discipline calls for a particular pellet size.

As shotgun ammunition rather than a firearm, this ships directly to the address on your order, subject to your state and local rules on purchasing ammunition.

Does the shot size matter for which clay discipline I shoot?

Yes — trap shooters commonly favor slightly larger pellets like #7.5 for breaking targets at longer average distances, while skeet shooters often prefer smaller #8 or #9 shot for the closer, faster-crossing targets typical of that game. If you compete in a specific discipline rather than shooting informal clays, it's worth confirming the exact shot size before buying a case, since the "right" size is a matter of practical convention within each sport rather than a hard rule.

Is this ammunition suitable for a beginner shooting their first rounds through a new shotgun?

Yes. Light 1-ounce and 1-1/8-ounce target loads like these are noticeably gentler on the shoulder than heavier hunting loads, which makes them a sensible choice for a new shooter getting comfortable with a shotgun's recoil and pattern behavior before moving up to heavier field or hunting ammunition. They're also a practical, affordable way to function-test a shotgun after cleaning or a parts swap.
