The Fiocchi Exacta Target White Rino 12 Gauge 2.75-inch 1-1/8 oz #8 Hard Lead Shot 25-round box is an elite competition-grade shotshell engineered specifically for trap, skeet, sporting clays, and FITASC where absolute pattern density and consistent pellet energy determine target break probability. A primary friction point in high-volume clay target shooting is soft lead pellet deformation during rapid ignition and choke constriction, which flattens pellets, generates erratic flyers, and creates patchy patterns that result in lost targets. Fiocchi completely resolves this competitive challenge by utilizing a premium 5% antimony-hardened lead shot payload, ensuring the spherical integrity of every pellet is maintained under extreme setback forces for uniform, dense patterns.
The technical advantage focuses on exceptional material hardness paired with advanced internal load architecture. Launching its 1-1/8 oz payload of #8 hard lead shot at a blistering muzzle velocity of 1,250 FPS, this high-velocity load shortens downrange lead times on fast-crossing targets. Mechanically, the high antimony content increases lead resistance to flattening during ignition, while the specialized one-piece cushioned wad system absorbs initial shock to stabilize the shot column through the bore. Combined with a clean, progressive-burning powder charge, this system maintains high velocity uniformity and dense peripheral pattern coverage without introducing excessive fatigue-inducing recoil during long tournament strings.
Slinging its 1-1/8 oz hard lead payload at 1,250 FPS, this specialized White Rino target cartridge is optimized for smooth, non-binding mechanical operation across over-under, side-by-side, semi-automatic, and pump-action competition shotguns. Assembled in high-strength, premium plastic hulls fitted with non-corrosive primers and clean-burning propellants, it ensures crisp ignition and minimal residue buildup in chambers and gas ports. The precision-formed brass head provides positive shell rim engagement and effortless, sticky-free extraction during high-speed, break-action reloading or semi-auto cycling.
