The Browning BXD Upland 12-gauge ammunition delivers consistent patterns and reliable performance for upland bird hunting. This 3-inch magnum load pushes 1-5/8 ounces of #5 shot at velocities optimized for medium-range upland game like pheasant, grouse, and prairie birds.

What Makes This Different

Browning's BXD Upland features precision-engineered shot charges that maintain tighter patterns compared to standard field loads. The nickel-plated shot resists deformation during acceleration, resulting in more uniform pellet distribution downrange. This translates to cleaner kills and fewer crippled birds at extended ranges where standard loads begin to lose effectiveness.

Key Features

  • 3-inch magnum shell with 1-5/8 ounces of #5 nickel-plated shot
  • High-velocity powder charge optimized for upland hunting distances
  • Precision wad design maintains shot column integrity
  • Reliable ignition system performs in temperature extremes
  • Low-brass construction reduces felt recoil compared to high-brass alternatives
  • Compatible with all 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells
  • 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
Field testing shows consistent 30-inch patterns at 40 yards, making this load effective on birds that flush at moderate to long range. The #5 shot size provides sufficient energy for clean kills on tough birds like roosters while maintaining adequate pellet count for smaller targets. Weather-resistant primers and sealed case mouths ensure reliable function in wet conditions common during late-season hunts.
