Remington's Premier STS is a 12-gauge target shell: 2 3/4 inches long, one ounce of lead No. 8 birdshot, leaving the muzzle at 1185 feet per second, 25 to a box. The plastic hull is the part reloaders care about; it is built for reloading durability, and it feeds and ejects cleanly in the meantime. The load is intended for trap, skeet and sporting clays rather than live birds.

North Carolina clay shooters will use STS at the local trap field, on a skeet round or around a sporting clays course, in any 12-gauge chambered for 2 3/4-inch or longer shells. One ounce of No. 8 shot at 1185 feet per second is a conventional target payload, and the 25-shell box matches a single round of trap or skeet. Save the hulls if you reload; the plastic case is one reason the STS line is popular at clubs.
