The B&P Mach 12 Gauge ammunition delivers consistent performance for upland game hunting and sporting clays with its precision-engineered 7.5 shot payload. This Italian-manufactured ammunition combines traditional craftsmanship with modern ballistic technology to provide reliable ignition and uniform patterns downrange.
What Makes This Different
B&P's proprietary powder blend generates consistent velocities while maintaining lower felt recoil compared to standard field loads. The one-piece plastic hull construction resists deformation during feeding and extraction, while the star crimp closure ensures consistent powder burn and shot release. Quality control standards exceed CIP specifications, resulting in shot-to-shot consistency that competitive shooters and hunters depend on.
Key Features
- 1-1/8 ounce #7.5 shot charge optimized for upland birds and clay targets
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 12 gauge chambers
- High-antimony shot maintains pellet roundness for tighter patterns
- Progressive powder burn reduces muzzle jump and improves follow-up shots
- Brass-plated steel head prevents extraction issues in semi-automatic shotguns
- Factory-crimped closure maintains consistent chamber pressure
- Temperature-stable propellant performs reliably from -20°F to 140°F
Field testing demonstrates effective patterns out to 40 yards on quail, dove, and pheasant-sized game. The 7.5 shot size provides sufficient energy for clean kills while minimizing meat damage on smaller birds. Competition shooters report consistent breaks on sporting clays and skeet targets, with predictable point of impact that builds confidence during rapid target presentations. The moderate recoil characteristics allow for extended shooting sessions without fatigue.
