The B&P Dual Steel 12B8DS23 delivers exceptional knockdown power for waterfowl hunting with its innovative dual-pellet design combining #2 and #3 steel shot. This Italian-manufactured ammunition maximizes pattern density while maintaining the energy needed for clean harvests at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard single-pellet loads, the Dual Steel formula combines two shot sizes in each shell to optimize both penetration and pattern coverage. The #2 pellets provide deep penetration for larger birds, while #3 shot fills gaps in the pattern for improved hit probability. This dual-pellet approach delivers 15-20% better pattern density than conventional steel loads at 40-yard distances.

Key Features

  • Dual pellet design with #2 and #3 steel shot for optimized pattern performance
  • 3-inch magnum shell length delivers maximum payload capacity
  • 1-1/8 ounce shot charge provides substantial knockdown power
  • High-velocity steel shot construction for flat trajectory
  • Premium Italian manufacturing with consistent quality control
  • Non-toxic steel shot meets all waterfowl hunting regulations
  • Reliable ignition system performs in cold, wet conditions
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1,350 fps muzzle velocity with tight, even patterns through modified and improved cylinder chokes. The dual-shot configuration maintains effective killing power on ducks and geese out to 45 yards, while the steel construction eliminates lead contamination concerns in wetland environments. These shells cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns and deliver consistent point of impact.
