In search of competition ammo.

[kerplooey]

I'm looking for ammo for my step-son that shoots competitively, and is required to have a certain load. Does anyone know where I can find a flat of 2 3/4" 12 ga. #7.5 Lead, 7/8 Ounce, with a higher velocity, 1350 preferable. It's hard enough to find online, but thought maybe some of you guys might have a place I could go without paying $30 in shipping. Looking to place a bulk order. Any thoughts on Nation's Gun Show prices? Thanks!

What competition requires that load? Bunker Trap?
You are not going to find that load commercially easily. Is it a 24g international load?
You may have to load them yourself.

Olympic Trap & Skeet. Requirement is under 24.5 gram. I've found some good prices online, but the shipping is ridiculous.

Keystone Shooting Park has what you need...

Another suggestion call Shyda's in PA and see if they can get Fiocchi International shells.
I am pretty sure they are a Fiocchi dealer. Ph: 717-273-6572

What do you consider bulk? a pallet?

I would call Shyda's and ask about price and availability of 24 gram loads. I would also talk to Mark Biggins (manager) at PG trap and skeet 301-577-7178. They have an Olympic trap/bunker field so they have to carry them. I would think. They are probably more expensive than Shyda's but a lot closer.

This. Mark at PG Trap & Skeet was going to be my recommendation. Either that or a Mec 9000G. As cheap as I am, I'd buy the kid a Mec 9000G and teach him to reload, unless you have spare time and want to reload for him.

Not positive but I think International Trap and Skeet require factory loads, no reloads.

I believe you are right for competition. Maybe that is why the OP is looking for "competition" stuff and not practice ammo. Maybe the OP's nephew is actually already reloading for practice.
