Fiocchi 20g 1210fps 7/8oz #8

PRIMARY DESCRIPTION

This Fiocchi 20 gauge load carries the standard 7/8oz charge of #8 lead shot at 1210 fps, sized to 20 gauge's typical target-load formula for shooters who prefer the lighter, quicker-handling smaller bore over 12 gauge without sacrificing a proper skeet and clay-target shell. Fiocchi has manufactured ammunition in Lecco, Italy since 1876, and this load applies that manufacturing consistency to 20 gauge, a sub-gauge with real competitive following of its own alongside its popularity for upland-style handling and lighter carry weight. #8 shot at 1210 fps is a standard, versatile combination well suited to skeet and general clay target practice in 20 gauge.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why does 20 gauge use a 7/8oz charge instead of 12 gauge's 1oz?
7/8oz is the standard target-load weight for 20 gauge, matched to the smaller bore's shell capacity — it's a properly sized target load, not a reduced-power option.

What disciplines suit this load?
Skeet and general clay target practice — #8 shot at 1210 fps is a standard, versatile combination for 20 gauge shooters across most clay disciplines.

Is 20 gauge a good choice for competitive clay shooting?
Yes, 20 gauge has its own dedicated competitive following in skeet and sporting clays, alongside its popularity as a lighter-handling option for shooters who split time between clays and upland hunting.

Will this shell cycle reliably in 20 gauge semi-autos?
Yes, manufactured to standard pressure specs for reliable cycling across 20 gauge semi-autos, pumps, and break-actions.

Can 20 gauge shells be fired in a 12 gauge shotgun?
No — 20 gauge shells are sized specifically for 20 gauge chambers and are not compatible with 12 gauge firearms. Always match ammunition to your firearm's marked gauge.
