The Sellier & Bellot Trap 24 Super 12 Gauge shotgun ammunition is engineered for competitive clay target shooting, delivering a 24 g lead shot payload at a high muzzle velocity of 420 m/s. Built in a standard 2¾" (70 mm) hull with a 12.5 mm brass head and a 6-star crimp, each shell utilises a one-piece plastic target wad with an integrated shot protector to prevent pellet deformation. The 2.4 mm shot diameter (equivalent to UK No. 7 / US No. 7.5) combined with the 24 g payload weight fully complies with ISSF and ACTA competition regulations, balancing reduced felt recoil with consistent pattern density at intermediate to extended clay target ranges.

Key Features

• Competition Velocity: Propels shot at 420 m/s (approx. 1,378 fps) to shorten target lead requirements on fast-moving targets.
• Regulation Target Payload: Loaded with 24 g of 2.4 mm lead shot, meeting standard international specifications for competitive trap disciplines.
• Reduced Shooter Fatigue: The 24 g charge weight limits felt recoil compared to standard 28 g or 32 g loads, facilitating faster follow-up shots on second barrels during high-volume events.
• Bore Protection and Pattern Uniformity: The single-piece plastic cup wad shields pellets from bore friction to deliver predictable, dense shot spreads between 25 metres and 45 metres.
• Standard Chamber Compatibility: Sized in a 70 mm (2¾") hull format suitable for all standard 12-gauge competition shotguns.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot Trap 24 Super 12 Gauge Ammo for?

• Olympic Trap Competitors — requires strict adherence to ISSF competition standards, which this 12 gauge target shotgun shell satisfies through its exact 24 g payload and 2.4 mm maximum shot diameter, while the 420 m/s velocity provides the speed required to intercept rapid, trench-emerging targets.
• Down-the-Line (DTL) Shooters — benefits from the modest recoil profile of a 24 g payload in a standard 2¾ inch chamber length shell, minimising physical fatigue over multi-round club shoots while retaining pattern density for clean second-barrel breaks.
• Sporting Clays Shooters — needs rapid target acquisition on distant presentations, achieved through this 12 gauge cartridge's 420 m/s muzzle velocity that reduces lead calculations on crossing targets out to 45 metres.

Less suitable for: Shotguns with chambers shorter than 2¾ inches (such as vintage 65 mm / 2½" chambers) or non-12-gauge bores; close-range disciplines requiring wider spreads like Skeet, which are better served by dedicated skeet shells loaded with smaller 2.0 mm (#9) shot; and field hunting or waterfowl applications requiring heavier 28–36 g non-toxic or field-load shot shells.
