Shooting sporting Clays is fun, but the best shells are necessary for the job. This article will focus on the Federal engineered High Over All, Winchester AA Super Sport, as well as Gordon clay shooting shells. There are many other types of sporting clays as well, so be sure to check out each one for the specific application you're planning. We also provide information on the pros and con of each.
High velocity clay shooting shells
Using high velocity clay shooting shells has a few benefits, but it also has a few drawbacks. First, high velocity clay shooting shells can have greater recoil making it harder to aim. The second is that it may be difficult for the shooter to collimate on a target if it is launched from a shallow angle. These drawbacks can be overcome by high velocity clay shooting shells.
A shotshell with the ability to destroy sporting clays can be called a "competitive Edge". A composite of high-tech components and state-of-the-art technology, the COMPETITIVE EDGE is able to achieve a high degree of recoil reduction. This shell also has a high accuracy, leading to better scores. This shotshell is great for people who have limited range.
Gordon clay shooting shells
Gordon's revolutionary hull cartridges were introduced in the 1990s. These are highly respected by hunters and shooters. The Gordon hull is equipped with a shock-absorbing bottom wad. This seals the shell casing, and anchors the endplug tube. This wadding serves as primer seating. The Gordon hull's solid structure absorbs any recoil. This results in a flat shot pattern and greater penetration.
The Sporting 100 was originally introduced to replace the Pro Sport. It has evolved into the Graphite variant and is fully optimized to handle clay loads at mid-range. Eley Superb shotshells used to be only available in plastic, but are now also available in fibre wads. These shells are ideal for competition work because they come in a wide range of sizes and offer a lot of performance. These shells are not inexpensive.
Winchester AA Super Sport
Winchester AA Super Sport Shells are made for shooting sporting clays. They are specially designed for breaking clay birds at longer distances. These shells can carry heavier loads and contain more powder. AA Target loads have high-quality components and are loaded with copper-plated shot to increase pattern performance and reduce deformation. These loads are great for hunting both upland game and clay birds at longer ranges.
The Winchester AA target shotshells are the benchmark for accuracy, consistency, and performance. Because of their consistent shell load, they are the top choice for trap, sporting clays and skeet shooters. The AA shotshells are 1-1/8 ounce in weight and ideal for high volume shooting. And unlike other brand's lead-free cartridges, Winchester AA shells are completely lead-free.
Federal engineered High Over All
Federal's High Over All shells provide the highest level of performance and consistency. These shells contain one-eighth-ounce of #7.5 high-quality all-steel gun shot and a unique wad column. High Over All shotshells have consistent pattern density, and reliable downrange accuracy. These shells can be used to shoot sporting clays with or without lead, and they offer outstanding value and consistent performance.
Federal's Premium High Over All shotshells are designed to deliver the highest quality performance and consistency in target shooting. Developed with top shooters in mind, Federal's HOA is a superior choice for sporting clays, trap and skeet competitions. The unique Podium wad with a one-piece Podium hull and high-antimony Lead payload gives it the ability to produce consistent patterns. It has a solid brass head, and a tapered, one-piece hull.
