The B&T Ammunition 12B15PG5 Privilege Game delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for upland game hunters who demand precision performance. This premium 12-gauge load combines Italian craftsmanship with advanced ballistics engineering to maximize effective range and stopping power.
What Makes This Different
B&T's Privilege Game series utilizes high-antimony lead shot and progressive burning powder to achieve tighter patterns than standard field loads. The specialized wad design reduces pellet deformation during acceleration, maintaining shot roundness for improved downrange performance. Independent testing shows 15% denser patterns at 40 yards compared to conventional hunting ammunition.
Key Features
- High-antimony lead shot resists deformation for consistent patterns
- Progressive burning powder optimizes velocity and pressure curves
- Precision-formed wad system protects shot during barrel travel
- 2.75-inch hull provides universal compatibility with all 12-gauge shotguns
- 1-1/5 ounce shot charge delivers optimal pellet count for medium game
- Low-flash powder reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Brass-plated steel head ensures reliable extraction
Field performance testing demonstrates effective lethal range extending to 45 yards on pheasant and grouse-sized game. The #5 shot size provides the ideal balance between pellet energy and pattern density for birds weighing 1-3 pounds. Weather-sealed primer and crimp maintain reliability in humid conditions and temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F.
