TROY .410 bore #7.5 shot target loads are a smart upgrade over standard 2.5 inch shells, because the 3 inch hull carries 5/8 ounce of #7.5 lead shot and puts a noticeably higher pellet count downrange. Leaving the muzzle at 1150 feet per second, these low brass shells balance pattern performance against the soft shooting manners the little bore is loved for. There are 25 rounds in the box.
Why the TROY .410 bore #7.5 load patterns well
Pellet count decides everything in a small bore. A .410 pattern with holes in it is a missed target or a wounded animal, and the only fix is putting more pellets in the same charge.
Number 7.5 shot is the classic target size for exactly that reason. It gives you far more pellets per ounce than #6 or #4 while still carrying enough energy for clays and closer small game.
Combine that pellet size with a 5/8 ounce charge in a 3 inch hull and you get better pattern density where it counts, which is the whole point of stepping up from a 2.5 inch shell.
What this box does well
Versatility is the selling point. This load moves easily between the range and the field.
- 5/8 ounce of #7.5 lead shot for a high pellet count and even pattern coverage
- 3 inch hull that carries a bigger payload than standard short shells
- 1150 feet per second muzzle velocity for consistent, manageable performance
- Low brass construction, the practical standard for target and general purpose loads
- Soft shooting recoil that suits new shooters and long practice sessions equally
- Twenty five rounds per box at a price that encourages regular trigger time
Specifications and chamber check
Gauge is .410 bore, shell length is 3 inches, shot size is #7.5 lead, shot weight is 5/8 ounce, muzzle velocity is 1150 feet per second, the brass is low brass, and the count is 25 rounds per box.
Check the chamber marking on your barrel before ordering. A .410 chambered for 2.5 inch shells will not take a 3 inch hull, and that single detail causes more returned ammunition than anything else in the chambering.
The .410 bore is the smallest commonly available shotgun chambering, popular in compact single shots and handy little repeaters, and experienced shooters know it is far more capable than its beginner’s reputation suggests.
Where these shells go to work
Clay targets are the obvious use, and #7.5 shot breaks them cleanly at sporting distances while the extra pellets forgive a slightly imperfect lead.
The same load handles small game hunting, pest and varmint control around the property, and snake defense on a walk through tall grass.
It is also a fine teaching load. Introducing new shooters to the shotgun sports goes better when the gun does not punish them, and a .410 running mild target shells builds confidence fast.
Wipe the bore after a session, store shells cool and dry, and restock shell pouches, cases, and cleaning kits from our Apparel and Gear collection so nothing slows down your next range day.
Keep several boxes together. Shooters who run the TROY .410 bore #7.5 load regularly tend to buy it several boxes at a time, since a single 25 round box disappears quickly once the clays start flying.
Pair it with a heavier field load for hunting and you have the little gauge covered from the skeet station to the hedgerow without owning a shelf full of specialty ammunition.
Sold in 25 round boxes at a price that encourages regular practice, this TROY .410 bore #7.5 target load offers solid reliability and consistent performance shell after shell. Keep a stack on the shelf and the little shotgun will never sit idle. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
