The Browning BXD Upland 16 Gauge delivers consistent patterns and reliable knockdown power for upland bird hunting. This premium ammunition combines precision-engineered shot with proven powder charges to maximize effectiveness on pheasant, grouse, and quail at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
BXD Upland ammunition features nickel-plated shot that resists deformation during barrel travel, maintaining rounder pellets for tighter patterns and deeper penetration. The specially formulated powder charge provides consistent velocities across temperature ranges, while the high-quality brass cases ensure reliable extraction and feeding. This ammunition consistently delivers 15-20% tighter patterns than standard field loads at 40 yards.
Key Features
- Nickel-plated #6 shot maintains pellet integrity for maximum pattern density
- 1-1/8 ounce shot charge optimized for 16 gauge ballistics
- 2.75-inch hull length fits all 16 gauge chambers
- Temperature-stable powder for consistent performance in field conditions
- High-quality brass cases with reliable primer ignition
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for extended hunting seasons
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 1,295 feet per second
Field testing demonstrates effective range extension compared to standard loads, with lethal energy maintained beyond 45 yards on medium-sized upland birds. The #6 shot size provides optimal balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy for clean harvests on birds ranging from dove to pheasant. Weather-resistant crimping and quality control standards ensure reliable ignition in humid conditions and temperature extremes.
