Remington Premier STS .410 Bore #9 Shot 2.5 Inches 1/2 Ounce 1200 FPS – 25 Rounds (Box)

Remington Premier STS .410 bore shotshells are finely built target loads for competitors and recreational clay shooters who run the little gauge, sold 25 rounds to the box. Each 2.5 inch shell carries 1/2 ounce of #9 shot at 1200 feet per second, a combination aimed at tight, uniform patterns rather than raw velocity. On the skeet field, where windows are small and targets are crossing fast, that consistency is the entire game.

Why Remington Premier STS is the small gauge standard

The .410 demands more precision than any other gauge. There is no margin built into the payload, so every pellet has to be where it belongs, and ammunition quality carries far more of the outcome than most shooters admit.

This line earned its reputation on exactly that point. These shells are manufactured to a target grade standard, with the uniform shot distribution and shell to shell repeatability that competition demands.

The result is diagnostic clarity. When a target slips away you know it was the swing, the lead, or a lifted head, and not the load, which is the only honest way to improve.

What sets a target grade shell apart

Target ammunition is judged by what does not happen: no flyers, no dead patterns, no velocity swings between shells.

• 1/2 ounce of #9 shot for the highest practical pellet count in a 2.5 inch .410 hull
• 1200 feet per second muzzle velocity, quick enough for crossing targets without harsh recoil
• Uniform shot distribution that produces repeatable, evenly filled patterns
• Built to competition standards for reliability round after round
• Twenty five rounds per box, sized right for a full round of skeet with a shell to spare
• 2.5 inch hull that fits the widest range of .410 shotguns, including older short chambered guns

The specification sheet

The gauge is .410 bore and the shell length is 2.5 inches, which is the friendliest length in the little bore because virtually every .410 shotgun will chamber it, including vintage guns and youth models restricted to short shells.

Shot size is #9, shot weight is 1/2 ounce, muzzle velocity is 1200 feet per second, and there are 25 rounds per box.

Number 9 shot is the traditional skeet pellet size for good reason. It maximizes pellet count, and in a payload as small as a half ounce, pellet count is what fills the pattern and breaks the target. Remington has been refining that formula for generations of registered target shooters.

Competition use, practice, and care with Remington Premier STS

Pattern the gun with the same shells you compete with. A .410 pattern changes noticeably with choke, and finding the constriction that fills your pattern board is worth several targets a round.

Keep your hulls if you reload. STS hulls have long been prized on the reloading bench for surviving multiple firings, and a shooter who runs a lot of .410 will appreciate that quickly.

Clean the bore after a heavy session, especially in humid weather. Target loads burn clean, but residue plus moisture is still the fastest way to dull a good barrel.

Shell pouches, vests, cleaning kits, and range bags all live in our Apparel and Gear collection, which makes it easy to bring the rest of your setup up to the same standard as the ammunition.

Buy enough at once to matter. Ammunition from a single lot behaves identically, and a shooter working through a case of Remington Premier STS will see less variation across a long season than someone buying a box at a time from whatever lot happens to be on the shelf that week.

Whether you are chasing a registered target score or simply enjoy the challenge of breaking clays with a .410, this is the load discerning small gauge shooters reach for first. Buy a case before the season and let your scorecard tell the story. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
