PRIMARY DESCRIPTION
The Armusa Olympic is a 32-gram 12 gauge load carrying #7.5 shot at 1275 fps, named for the international competition heritage behind Armusa's Basque Country manufacturing operation. At 32 grams (just over 1-1/8oz), this load carries more shot than the standard 24-28 gram loads used in ISSF international disciplines, making it well suited to American-style trap and sporting clays presentations where a slightly heavier payload helps break targets consistently at trap's longer average distances. #7.5 shot holds energy well at those longer distances, giving this load real reach without needing to step up velocity. Armusa has built competition ammunition in Spain for more than 60 years, and the Olympic name reflects the brand's roots in shooters competing at the sport's highest levels.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is this load 32 grams instead of the more common 24-28 gram international loads?
32 grams carries more shot per shell, which suits American trap and sporting clays presentations that call for a heavier payload — as opposed to ISSF international trap/skeet, which caps loads at 24 grams by rule.
What does "Olympic" refer to in the product name?
It reflects Armusa's competition heritage rather than indicating this specific load meets ISSF Olympic-format weight limits — at 32 grams, this load exceeds the 24-gram cap used in international bunker trap and skeet.
What disciplines is this load best suited for?
American-style trap and general sporting clays, where the heavier 32-gram payload and #7.5 shot combination performs well at typical trap distances.
How does 1275 fps compare to Armusa's other #7.5 loads?
It sits close to the Pro-Trap line's 1250 fps, paired here with the heavier 32-gram payload rather than the more common 1oz (28.35g) charge.
Will this shell cycle reliably in semi-auto shotguns?
Yes, this is a standard-pressure 12 gauge target load built to cycle reliably across gas and inertia semi-autos, pumps, and break-actions.
