Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What are the key specifications of this Fiocchi 28 gauge ammunition?

A: This Fiocchi Exacta Target VIP Heavy ammunition is 28 gauge, with a 2 3/4" shell length. It contains 3/4 oz of #8 shot and has a muzzle velocity of 1300 fps. Each box contains 25 rounds.

Q: What is this ammunition best suited for?

A: This Fiocchi VIP Heavy load is specifically designed for target shooting and sport shooting applications. It's ideal for clay target sports such as skeet, trap, and sporting clays, offering consistent patterns and reliable performance for competitive and recreational shooters.

Q: Is this ammunition lead-based?

A: Yes, this ammunition uses lead shot. The #8 shot size is made of lead, which is preferred by many target shooters for its density and consistent patterns.

Q: What is the significance of the 'VIP Heavy' designation?

A: The 'VIP Heavy' designation indicates that this is a premium target load with a slightly heavier payload (3/4 oz) for 28 gauge, which can provide improved target breaking capability and more consistent patterns at longer ranges compared to lighter loads.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for hunting?

A: While primarily designed for target shooting, this ammunition could be used for small game hunting where lead shot is permitted. However, its #8 shot size is generally considered too small for most hunting applications, and it's not ideal for waterfowl hunting where non-toxic shot is required.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to standard 28 gauge loads?

A: The recoil of this VIP Heavy load is slightly more than standard 28 gauge target loads due to its heavier payload and higher velocity. However, it's still manageable, especially when used in 28 gauge shotguns which are typically lighter and have less felt recoil than larger gauges.
