Estate Super Sport Competition Target 12 FAQ:
Yes, this ammunition is suitable for beginners due to its manageable recoil and consistent performance. It's also affordable, making it a good choice for new shooters who may need to practice frequently to improve their skills.
This ammunition is not recommended for hunting as it's designed for clay target shooting. Additionally, lead shot may be restricted or prohibited for hunting in many areas, so always check local regulations before using any ammunition for hunting purposes.
These 2 3/4" shells are compatible with most modern 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2 3/4" or 3" shells. However, always consult your firearm's manual to ensure compatibility and safe use.
While these shells could potentially be used for home defense in an emergency, they are not designed or optimal for that purpose. For home defense, it's better to use ammunition specifically designed for that application.
The ideal choke depends on the specific discipline and personal preference. Generally, Improved Cylinder or Modified chokes work well for skeet and sporting clays, while Modified or Full chokes are often preferred for trap shooting.

Yes, these shells should cycle reliably in most semi-automatic shotguns designed for target loads. However, some very light or heavily modified semi-autos may require slightly hotter loads to cycle properly.
