The Browning BPT Performance Target delivers consistent clay-breaking power with precision-engineered components that maintain pattern density at sporting clays distances. This 12-gauge load combines a 1-1/8 ounce payload of #7.5 shot with optimized powder charges for reliable cycling and minimal felt recoil. Competition shooters rely on this ammunition's uniform velocity and tight shot patterns to maximize their scores on challenging sporting clays courses.
What Makes This Different
Browning's BPT line uses premium hard shot that resists deformation during acceleration, maintaining pellet roundness for superior downrange performance. The specially formulated powder charge produces consistent velocities across temperature ranges, while the one-piece wad design protects shot during barrel travel and provides uniform pattern distribution. These components work together to deliver tighter patterns than standard target loads at typical sporting clays distances of 25-45 yards.
Key Features
- Premium hard #7.5 shot maintains roundness for consistent patterns
- 1-1/8 ounce payload provides optimal pellet count for sporting clays
- 2.75-inch hull length ensures compatibility with all 12-gauge shotguns
- Temperature-stable powder for consistent velocity in varying conditions
- One-piece wad protects shot and controls pattern spread
- Low-recoil design reduces shooter fatigue during extended sessions
- 25 rounds per box packaging for convenient range trips
This ammunition performs reliably in semi-automatic, over/under, and side-by-side shotguns commonly used in sporting clays competition. The moderate recoil impulse allows for faster target acquisition on doubles while maintaining enough energy to break clays consistently at longer distances. Weather-resistant primers ensure reliable ignition in humid conditions typical of outdoor shooting ranges.
