I shot a few thousand of them at sporting clays, they gave good breaks for me, no problems.

I did find by inspecting the contents of a couple that the shot was more like an english #7, so the pellet count was about 60 pellets down on a true #7.5.
After extensive pattern testing and spreadsheet analysis I concluded that a #8 was a better choice, they only make Velocity in #7.5 (and actually load #7) so I don't shoot them any more. A #8 has 32% more pellets than a #7 and I think they will break a clay at any angle at any range I am likely to encounter on a sporting layout. I don't really know why people shoot #7.5, #8 has enough energy and if you pattern test at 40yd and it's clear you need every pellet you can get!
