Fiocchi White Rino Crusher 12 Gauge 2 3/4'' 1 1/8 oz #7.5 Shot

Fiocchi's Crusher technology enhances the load design to deliver superior shot-to-shot consistency and tighter patterns. This technology optimizes the relationship between powder burn rate, payload configuration, and wad design, resulting in improved downrange performance and more reliable breaks on clay targets or clean kills on game.

While the White Rino Crusher can be effective for turkey hunting at closer ranges, it's not ideal for this purpose. The #7.5 shot size is smaller than typically recommended for turkey hunting, where larger shot sizes like #4 or #5 are preferred for increased penetration and energy at longer ranges.

The White Rino Crusher is suitable for most modern 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2 3/4" shells. However, it's crucial to consult your firearm's manual to ensure compatibility, especially with older shotguns or those with specialized chokes, as some may have restrictions on using high-performance loads.

Fiocchi designs the White Rino Crusher to maintain consistent performance across various weather conditions. The high-quality primers are moisture-resistant, and the powder charge is formulated to maintain stable ballistics in hot, cold, or damp environments, ensuring reliability regardless of the shooting conditions.

The effective range of the White Rino Crusher for upland hunting is typically up to 40-45 yards, depending on the specific game and shooting conditions. The 1 1/8 oz of #7.5 shot provides a good balance of pattern density and energy retention at these distances, making it effective for most upland hunting scenarios.

This ammo is well-suited for all clay target disciplines, including sporting clays. Its versatile #7.5 shot size and optimized velocity make it effective for the varied target presentations in sporting clays, while still performing excellently in skeet and trap where more consistent target distances are encountered.

While the White Rino Crusher can function in a home defense situation, it's not specifically designed for this purpose. The #7.5 shot size may not provide optimal stopping power at close range, and the high velocity could potentially lead to over-penetration in home environments. For home defense, it's better to choose loads specifically designed for that purpose.

This ammunition is designed to perform well with a range of choke constrictions, from improved cylinder to full choke. However, for optimal performance in target shooting, a modified or improved modified choke often provides the best balance of pattern density and spread at typical clay target distances.

There's no specific break-in period required for the White Rino Crusher ammunition itself. However, shooters may need a few rounds to acclimate to its recoil characteristics and adjust their lead for the optimized velocity, especially if transitioning from significantly different loads.
