For competitive clay shooters and upland hunters running sub-gauge platforms, the Fiocchi Exacta Heavy Target 28 gauge ammo delivers tournament-grade consistency in a 2¾-inch shell. Built with 3/4-ounce lead shot in #7.5 size and launched at 1300 feet per second, these rounds balance speed and pattern density for trap, skeet, and sporting clays disciplines. Fiocchi loads the Exacta line to strict tolerances — the same ammunition used by medalists at Olympic, World, and European Championship events — giving you match-level performance without custom ordering.
Load Profile
Each shell carries 3/4-ounce of #7.5 lead shot seated in a 28-gauge hull with a 6-point star crimp. Boxer primer ignition and non-corrosive propellant ensure reliable cycling across break-action, pump, and semi-automatic platforms. The 1300 fps muzzle velocity puts your shot column downrange with authority while maintaining soft recoil — ideal for extended practice sessions or multi-station tournaments. Fiocchi manufactures these shells in the United States, adhering to SAAMI pressure and dimension standards.

Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Follow the Four Rules of Firearm Safety on every range visit.
- Verify your state and local regulations — some jurisdictions restrict lead shot for hunting or require non-toxic alternatives. California Prop 65 warning applies to lead-containing ammunition.
- Store shotshells upright in factory boxes or ammo cans to prevent shell deformation and crimp damage.
