The B&P Heavy Dove & Quail 12 Gauge shotshells deliver consistent performance for upland bird hunting with optimized powder charges and premium shot patterns. These 2.75-inch shells feature 1-ounce payloads of #7 shot specifically engineered for dove and quail hunting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
B&P's Italian manufacturing process produces shotshells with tighter shot patterns and reduced felt recoil compared to standard field loads. The specially formulated powder charge provides consistent velocities of approximately 1,200 feet per second while maintaining lower chamber pressures. Each shell undergoes quality control testing to ensure uniform performance across the entire production run.
Key Features
- 1-ounce #7 shot payload optimized for dove and quail hunting
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all standard 12-gauge shotguns
- Premium brass-plated steel heads resist corrosion and extraction issues
- High-quality plastic hulls provide reliable feeding and ejection
- Consistent powder charges deliver uniform velocities shot-to-shot
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Made in Italy with European quality control standards
Field testing demonstrates effective range capabilities out to 40 yards on dove-sized targets, with dense shot patterns that maintain lethality without excessive meat damage. The #7 shot size provides the ideal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for small upland birds. These shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns while producing manageable recoil for extended shooting sessions.
