For 2017, the ammo company has improved its design with the new Gold Medal Grand, which produce less felt recoil, more reliable ignition, improved shot hardness and excellent reloadability. 

Features 
• Two-piece wad utilizes SoftCell technology to decrease perceived recoil and produce more uniform patterns than one-piece designs
• Rigid PrimerLock head improves primer sensitivity, ensuring proper ignition in the event of a light hit
• Lead shot is engineered for the optimum blend of hardness and density for even patterns and maximum downrange power
• Integral base wad maximizes reloadability
