Fiocchi 1200 #7.5 32gram

PRIMARY DESCRIPTION

This Fiocchi 12 gauge load carries a 32-gram charge (just over 1-1/8oz) of #7.5 lead shot at 1200 fps, giving shooters more shot per shell than the standard 28-gram (1oz) target load. The heavier payload suits American-style trap and sporting clays presentations where a denser pattern helps break targets consistently at longer average distances. Fiocchi has manufactured ammunition in Lecco, Italy since 1876, and this load reflects that manufacturing consistency at a shot weight favored by shooters who want extra margin on longer or harder-angled targets without stepping up in velocity. #7.5 shot balances pellet count and downrange energy well for this kind of heavier-payload target work.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why choose a 32-gram load over the standard 28-gram (1oz)?
More shot per shell means a denser pattern, which helps on longer trap and sporting clays presentations where targets have opened up distance by the time they're broken.

Does the heavier payload increase felt recoil?
Somewhat, yes — more shot weight at the same velocity generally means more recoil than a standard 28-gram load, though it remains within normal range for a 12 gauge target shell.

What's the best use case for this load?
American trap and sporting clays, where the extra shot density is worth the modest recoil increase over a standard-weight target load.

Will this shell cycle reliably in semi-auto shotguns?
Yes, manufactured to standard pressure specs for reliable cycling in gas and inertia semi-autos, pumps, and break-actions.

Is this suitable for skeet?
It can be used for skeet, though the heavier payload isn't necessary at skeet's shorter distances — a standard 1oz load is the more common and cost-effective choice there.
