The B&T Next 12 Gauge ammunition delivers consistent performance for upland game hunting and clay sports with its precision-loaded 1-1/8 ounce payload of #8 shot. This 2.75-inch shell combines European manufacturing expertise with modern propellant technology to achieve reliable velocities and tight patterns. Hunters and competitive shooters rely on the Next series for its clean-burning powder and consistent ignition across temperature extremes.
What Makes This Different
The Next series incorporates advanced wad technology that maintains shot column integrity during acceleration, resulting in more uniform patterns compared to standard field loads. The specially formulated powder charge burns completely within the barrel length, reducing residue buildup and maintaining consistent chamber pressures. Independent testing shows 15% tighter patterns at 40 yards versus comparable loads, with velocity variations under 25 fps across temperature ranges from 0°F to 100°F.Key Features
