The B&P Mach 12 Gauge delivers consistent performance for sporting clays and upland bird hunting with its precisely balanced 7/8 ounce payload. Italian engineering combines premium components with advanced powder formulations to produce reliable ignition and uniform shot patterns across temperature extremes.
What Makes This Different
B&P's proprietary powder blend generates consistent velocities while reducing felt recoil compared to standard field loads. The company's quality control standards exceed CIP specifications, with each lot tested for velocity consistency within 25 fps. Advanced wad design maintains shot column integrity through the barrel, delivering tighter patterns at extended ranges than conventional hunting loads.
Key Features
- 7/8 ounce #8 shot payload optimized for small game and clay targets
- 2.75-inch hull compatible with all 12 gauge shotguns
- Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent performance from -10°F to 120°F
- Brass-plated steel head construction prevents extraction issues
- Low-recoil formulation reduces shooter fatigue during extended sessions
- Precision-formed shot pellets improve pattern density and penetration
- Moisture-resistant crimp sealing protects powder charge
Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns while maintaining consistent 1200 fps muzzle velocity. The balanced load performs effectively on sporting clays courses and upland bird hunting, with #8 shot providing adequate energy for quail, dove, and woodcock at ranges up to 35 yards. Corrosion-resistant primers function reliably in humid conditions without misfires.
