Fiocchi 1250fps 32g #7.5

PRIMARY DESCRIPTION

This Fiocchi 12 gauge load pairs a 32-gram (roughly 1-1/8oz) charge of #7.5 lead shot with a 1250 fps muzzle velocity — a step up in both payload and speed from Fiocchi's standard 28-gram target loads, built for trap and sporting clays presentations that call for extra pattern density and reach. Fiocchi has manufactured ammunition in Lecco, Italy since 1876, and this heavier, faster combination reflects a load built for shooters who want more margin for error on longer or harder-angled targets. #7.5 shot balances pellet count and downrange energy well at this weight, making it a solid choice for competitive trap shooters who've found standard-weight loads coming up short on distant targets.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does this compare to Fiocchi's 1200 fps 32-gram #7.5 load?
Same shot size and payload weight — this version runs 50 fps faster, trading a bit more felt recoil for a flatter, faster-arriving pattern on longer targets.

What's the benefit of a heavier, faster load like this?
More shot at higher velocity gives a denser pattern that arrives with more energy, useful on trap and sporting clays presentations where targets have opened up distance.

Is the recoil noticeably heavier than a standard 1oz target load?
Yes, moderately — the combination of extra shot weight and higher velocity increases felt recoil compared to a standard 28-gram/1200 fps load, though it stays within normal range for 12 gauge target shooting.

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 suited to a beginner shooter?
It's better suited to shooters already comfortable with standard target-load recoil who want more reach on longer targets — a lighter, standard-weight load is usually a better starting point.
