B&T Upland Game Classic 12 Gauge 2.5" 1oz #8 Shot Ammo - 25 Rounds

The B&T Upland Game Classic 12 Gauge ammunition delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunting. This 2.5-inch shell configuration provides reduced recoil while maintaining effective downrange energy for quail, pheasant, and grouse hunting applications.

What Makes This Different

The 1-ounce payload strikes the optimal balance between shot count and individual pellet energy for upland game. Unlike heavier 3-inch loads that can damage meat or lighter target loads that lack stopping power, this configuration provides clean kills at typical upland hunting ranges of 20-35 yards. The #8 shot size offers dense patterns with sufficient penetration for medium-sized game birds.

Key Features

• 1-ounce lead shot payload with approximately 410 individual #8 pellets
• 2.5-inch hull length reduces felt recoil compared to 2.75-inch shells
• High-quality brass-plated steel head for reliable extraction
• Consistent powder charge ensures uniform velocities shot-to-shot
• Plastic wad column protects barrel and improves pattern density
• Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 2.75-inch or longer shells
• Packaged in 25-round boxes with 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)

Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges commonly encountered during upland seasons. The moderate velocity maintains effective patterns out to 40 yards while minimizing meat damage on smaller birds like quail and woodcock. Hunters report reliable ignition in both semi-automatic and break-action shotguns, with clean-burning powder that reduces fouling during extended shooting sessions.
