What is the effective engagement distance for the Sellier & Bellot Skeet 28 Super 2.0 mm #9 ammunition?

This 28-gram load is optimised for clay targets at standard club-level skeet ranges inside 15 to 25 metres. Because 2.0 mm pellets lose velocity rapidly past 25 to 30 metres, targets extending beyond 30 to 35 metres will require a larger shot size such as #7.5 or #8 to maintain sufficient energy.

Can I use these 28-gram skeet shells in sanctioned international ISSF competitions?

No, sanctioned international ISSF skeet rules strictly limit load weights to a maximum of 24 grams. For those official competitions, you should use the S&B Skeet 24 Super model V010502, whereas this 28-gram V012302 load is ideal for standard club-level skeet and sporting clays.

What firearms licence do I need to purchase 12-gauge ammunition in Australia?

In Australia, the purchase, possession, and use of ammunition are strictly regulated under state and territory firearms legislation. Buyers must hold a current and appropriate state-issued firearms licence, such as a Category A licence corresponding to 12-gauge shotguns, to complete the transaction.

Are these cartridges suitable for use at wetlands or lead-restricted clay target grounds?

No, these cartridges contain standard lead shot with a 2.0 mm diameter and are excluded from wetlands or clay grounds that enforce lead-shot bans. For lead-free venues, you will need to substitute them with non-toxic steel alternatives like S&B Steel Shots.

12 Gauge Skeet Ammo - Sellier & Bellot V012302

The Sellier & Bellot Skeet 28 Super 12/70 is a competition-grade clay target cartridge designed for close-range disciplines such as Olympic Skeet, English Skeet, and close sporting targets. Loaded with a 28-gram payload of 2.0 mm (#9) lead shot, this ammunition generates a high muzzle velocity of 415 m/s (approx. 1,361 fps). The combination of fine pellet size and high velocity delivers a dense, rapidly dispersing spread designed to maximise hit probability on fast-crossing clays at short to mid-station distances.

Key Features

High-Velocity Propulsion: Delivers a muzzle velocity of 415 m/s to reduce required lead on fast crossing clay targets.
Dense Skeet Pattern: 28 grams of uniform 2.0 mm (UK/US #9) lead shot creates a wide, high-density pattern for breaking targets at close range.
Reliable Cycling: Constructed with a 12.5 mm brass rim and a six-point star crimp to ensure smooth feeding and extraction in break-action, gas-operated, and inertia-driven shotguns.
Competition Plastic Wad: Engineered to open cleanly upon muzzle exit to establish an even pellet distribution.
Standard Chambering: 70 mm (2¾") case length matches standard 12-gauge competition shotgun chambers.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot Skeet 28 Super 12 Gauge Ammo for?

Club-level skeet and sporting clays shooters — Requires a wide, dense spread of 2.0 mm lead shot propelled at 415 m/s to reliably break fast-crossing targets within optimal engagement distances of 15 to 25 metres using standard 12 gauge skeet ammunition.

Less suitable for: Clay targets extending past 30 to 35 metres, which require larger shot sizes such as #7.5 (2.4 mm) or #8 (2.25 mm) trap loads to retain energy; sanctioned international ISSF skeet competitions that legally mandate a maximum payload of 24 grams; or wetland areas and shooting grounds under lead-shot bans, which require non-toxic steel target loads.
