The B&P Next 12 Gauge ammunition delivers consistent patterns and reliable ignition for sporting clays and upland bird hunting. This Italian-manufactured load combines precision components with proven ballistics to provide shooters with dependable performance across various shooting disciplines.
What Makes This Different
B&P Next ammunition features advanced wad technology and optimized powder charges that produce tighter shot patterns compared to standard field loads. The specially designed wad system reduces pellet deformation during barrel transit, resulting in more uniform shot strings and improved downrange energy retention. Independent ballistics testing shows 15-20% tighter patterns at 40 yards versus comparable sporting loads.
Key Features
- 1 1/8 ounce of premium #7.5 shot for optimal pellet count and energy
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 12 gauge shotguns
- High-antimony shot resists deformation for consistent patterns
- Advanced wad design minimizes pellet damage during acceleration
- Clean-burning powder reduces fouling and residue buildup
- Brass-plated steel heads provide reliable extraction
- Factory-crimped hulls ensure consistent chamber pressure
Field testing demonstrates excellent performance in sporting clays competition and upland game hunting scenarios. The 1 1/8 ounce shot charge provides sufficient pellet energy for clean breaks on clay targets out to 45 yards while maintaining manageable recoil. Weather-resistant primers and sealed case mouths prevent moisture infiltration during extended outdoor use.
