B&P Heavy Dove & Quail 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/8oz #8 Shot Shells

The B&P Heavy Dove & Quail 12B18D8 ammunition delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunting. These premium Italian-manufactured shells combine traditional craftsmanship with modern ballistic engineering to provide hunters with dependable stopping power on fast-flying game birds.

What Makes This Different

B&P's Heavy Dove & Quail loads feature carefully selected components and precise powder charges that produce uniform velocities shot after shot. The hard lead shot maintains its spherical shape through the barrel and choke, resulting in tighter patterns compared to standard field loads. Each shell undergoes quality control testing to ensure consistent performance across temperature variations and extended storage periods.

Key Features

• 1 1/8 ounce of premium #8 lead shot for optimal pellet count and energy
• 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 12-gauge chambers
• High-quality plastic wad system protects shot during barrel transit
• Reliable primer ignition in various weather conditions
• Consistent muzzle velocity for predictable ballistic performance
• Low-recoil design reduces shooter fatigue during extended sessions
• Brass-plated steel head construction for reliable extraction

Field testing demonstrates effective range capabilities on dove, quail, and similar-sized upland birds at distances up to 40 yards. The #8 shot size provides sufficient pellet density for clean harvests while minimizing meat damage on smaller game. These shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns and provide consistent ignition in break-action firearms across temperature ranges from 20°F to 120°F.
