The B&P Heavy Pheasant 12 Gauge delivers consistent knockdown power for upland birds with premium Italian manufacturing standards. This 2.75-inch shell loads 1-3/8 ounces of #4 shot for optimal range and penetration on pheasants, grouse, and similar game birds.
What Makes This Different
B&P's Heavy Pheasant line features specially formulated propellant that produces uniform velocities shot after shot. The high-antimony lead shot maintains pellet roundness through the barrel and delivers tighter patterns than standard field loads. Italian quality control ensures consistent crimp depth and powder charges across every shell in the box.
Key Features
- 1-3/8 ounce payload of premium #4 shot for maximum bird-stopping power
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 12-gauge shotguns including semi-autos
- High-velocity propellant generates 1,330 fps muzzle velocity
- Hard lead shot with antimony content resists deformation in flight
- Precise Italian manufacturing with consistent powder charges
- Star crimp closure prevents shot spillage and ensures reliable feeding
- Brass-plated steel head withstands repeated extraction cycles
Field testing shows these shells produce tight 30-inch patterns at 40 yards with modified choke tubes. The heavier shot charge extends effective range compared to 1-1/4 ounce loads while maintaining manageable recoil in gas-operated shotguns. Hunters report clean kills on late-season birds that require extra penetration through thick feathers.
