NSI 28ga #7.5 Shot 1220 fps

NSI (Nobel Sport Italia) 28-gauge #7.5 is a very popular, soft-shooting target and light-field load that delivers high pellet count and extremely low recoil in the light, fast-handling 28-gauge platform.

Each shell is loaded with ¾ oz (21 grams) of chilled #7.5 lead shot (approximately 380–400 pellets) at a gentle velocity of ~1200–1250 fps (most commonly listed around 1220–1250 fps depending on the exact SKU).

The high pellet count combined with the very light payload and moderate speed produces dense, forgiving patterns with almost no felt recoil — making it one of the most comfortable and shoulder-friendly 28-gauge options for extended shooting.
