The Trust Competition Trap Red, often known as "Trust Trap 1", is a high-performance competition cartridge crafted for shooters who demand consistency without the punishing recoil typically associated with high-velocity loads. Manufactured in Spain by Cartuchos Trust, this load achieves an ideal balance for DTL (Down The Line) and Sporting Clays disciplines.

With a velocity of 1,250 fps (approximately 380 m/s), it delivers ample speed to break targets at range while maintaining a "gentle pressure" curve. This design ensures smoother cycling in semi-automatic shotguns and reduces shooter fatigue during extended 100-bird matches. The distinctive red hull is easily recognisable on the range, and its 28gm payload of hardened lead shot guarantees a dense, gap-free pattern that effectively crushes clays rather than merely chipping them.

• Optimal Velocity (1250 fps): Fast enough to minimise lead on crossers, yet controlled to maintain tight patterns and low barrel jump.

• Soft Recoil Profile: Engineered with high-quality single-base powders to provide a "push" rather than a sharp "kick," facilitating faster follow-up shots.

• Hardened Lead Shot: The #7.5 shot is screened for uniformity and hardness, ensuring reliable breaks and deep penetration on edge-on targets.

• Reliable Primers: Trust is renowned for highly sensitive, consistent primers that guarantee ignition in all weather conditions.

• Versatile Application: Ideal for Trap, Sporting, and general practice where a 28gm load is permitted.
