The Sellier & Bellot Skeet 24 Super 12/70 (Model V010502) is purpose-engineered 12-gauge competition shotgun ammunition designed for clay target disciplines. Engineered to comply with standard ISSF regulations, each 70 mm (2¾") shell carries a 24 g (approx. 7/8 oz) payload of 2.00 mm (#9 UK / #9 US) lead shot paired with a plastic wad and a star crimp closure. Propelling pellets at a muzzle velocity of 415 m/s (approx. 1,361 fps), this cartridge produces dense, rapid shot patterns optimised for breaking clay presentations across typical skeet distances of 15 to 25 metres while managing felt recoil over extended shooting series.

Key Features

• Target-Specific Patterning: Loaded with fine 2.00 mm (#9) lead shot, delivering dense pellet coverage engineered to shatter clays at close ranges up to 25 metres.
• High Velocity, Low Payload: Fires a lightweight 24 g payload at 415 m/s, meeting ISSF competitive requirements while reducing felt recoil during high-volume sessions.
• Reliable Chambering and Extraction: Features a 12.5 mm brass head height and a plastic wad to ensure consistent cycling in break-action competition shotguns.
• Competition-Ready Construction: Finished with a clean star crimp closure across a standard 70 mm case length for consistent ballistics shot-to-shot.

Who is the Sellier & Bellot Skeet 24 Super 12 Gauge Ammo for?

• Competitive ISSF skeet shooters — requires a competition-compliant 24 g payload that achieves a rapid 415 m/s muzzle velocity to break fast-crossing targets cleanly within standard 15 to 25 metre competition layouts using break-action shotguns.
• Clay target shooters practicing at close range — benefits from dense pellet dispersion created by 2.00 mm (#9) shot across 70 mm shells, providing forgiving pattern spread without the excessive recoil of heavier field loads.

Less suitable for: Target shooting beyond 30 metres, where 2.00 mm pellets shed kinetic energy too quickly (requiring heavier #7.5 or #8 trap loads), wetland hunting requiring non-toxic steel or bismuth shot, obsolete shotguns chambered for 65 mm (2½") cases, or inertia and gas semi-automatics tuned exclusively for heavy 28 g to 36 g+ field loads that fail to cycle light 24 g charges.
