Fiocchi Clay Storm 1200fps 1oz. #7.5 SHOT

PRIMARY DESCRIPTION

This Clay Storm load pairs a full 1oz charge of #7.5 lead shot with a 1200 fps muzzle velocity, giving Fiocchi's dedicated clay-target line a versatile option suited to trap and sporting clays presentations where a slightly larger, harder-hitting pellet than #8 helps at longer distances. Clay Storm is engineered specifically for competitive and practice clay shooting rather than adapted from a field or general-purpose shell, and Fiocchi has built ammunition in Lecco, Italy since 1876 with the consistency that background brings to every load. At 1200 fps, felt recoil stays moderate, suited to shooters running a full day of squads or a long practice session.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What disciplines is this Clay Storm load best for?
Trap and sporting clays — #7.5 shot carries more energy at range than #8, suiting the somewhat longer average distances those disciplines present compared to skeet.

How does this compare to the Clay Storm #8 1250 fps option?
Larger shot size (#7.5 vs #8) at a slightly lower velocity (1200 vs 1250 fps) — this load favors pellet energy at range, the #8/1250fps version favors pattern density and a bit more speed.

Is Clay Storm built specifically for competition, or is it a general-purpose shell?
It's Fiocchi's dedicated clay-target line, engineered for the shot-to-shot consistency competitive shooters need rather than adapted from a field or all-purpose 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 a good load for a full day of shooting?
Yes, 1200 fps keeps felt recoil manageable across high round counts, which matters over a full day of squads or an extended practice session.
