The Fiocchi Field Dynamics High Velocity 12 Gauge 2-3/4-inch #9 Lead Shot 1-1/8 oz 25-round box is a high-density, fast-tracking shotshell engineered specifically for harvesting dove, quail, and woodcock as well as crushing fast-moving clay targets. A primary friction point when engaging small, erratic game birds or crossing clays is pattern thinning at distance, which creates coverage gaps that allow targets to slip through untouched. Fiocchi resolves these pattern coverage limitations by combining a high pellet count of #9 chilled lead shot with a heavy 1-1/8 oz payload and a high-velocity 1,330 FPS powder charge, delivering dense downrange coverage, reduced lead-time calculations, and decisive target energy.
The primary technical advantage centers on preserving spherical pellet integrity throughout the firing sequence. Loaded with hardened chilled lead shot, the small-diameter #9 pellets resist crushing and flattening under intense ignition pressures. Paired with Fiocchi’s proprietary one-piece cushioned wad, the internal assembly absorbs initial acceleration forces, protects the shot column against barrel wall friction, and seals chamber gases efficiently to release a tight, uniform pattern with minimal flyer distortion.
Propelling its generous 1-1/8 oz payload at a blistering 1,330 FPS, this High Velocity Field Dynamics loading significantly shortens flight time to target, reducing necessary forward lead on fast crossing upland birds or distant clays. Built with durable high-brass plastic hulls, clean-burning propellants, and all-weather primers, it delivers positive rim engagement, smooth chambering, and reliable extraction across semi-automatic, pump-action, over/under, and side-by-side 12-gauge shotguns. It is an outstanding choice for early-season dove fields and high-speed clay shooting.
Key Benefits
- Hardened Chilled Lead Shot: Resists setback deformation to maintain spherical pellet geometry for uniform downrange pattern density.
- High-Density #9 Shot Payload: Generates a massive pellet cloud to eliminate pattern gaps on small game birds and clay targets.
- 1,330 FPS High Velocity: Shortens flight time to target and reduces required forward lead on fast-moving crossing targets.
- One-Piece Cushioned Wad & High-Brass Hull: Protects pellet shape to soften felt recoil while ensuring smooth cycling across all action types.
