Description
B&P NEXT ammunition is built for shooters who want dependable performance without the environmental footprint. These 12 gauge shells pack a full 1 1/8 ounce payload of #7.5 shot loaded to approximately 1200 feet per second, making them ideal for everything from clay courses to upland game fields. The standard 2.75-inch case means they'll cycle smoothly through most any modern 12-gauge shotgun.
What Makes B&P NEXT Different
The standout feature is the Green Core wad, a 100% biodegradable pre-cut design that eliminates the plastic waste typically left behind at ranges and in the field. Unlike traditional wads that break down into micro-plastics, Green Core wads fully decompose naturally while maintaining ballistic performance on par with conventional plastic wads. They're also denser than water, so they sink and degrade safely if they land in a waterway.
Performance and Consistency
Don't let the eco-friendly wad fool you into thinking there's a performance trade-off. The Green Core design actually improves internal ballistics by creating superior gas sealing, which translates to more uniform shot patterns and consistent velocities regardless of weather conditions. The combination of the full 1 1/8 ounce payload with measured velocity gives you predictable results shot after shot, whether you're working on your lead or just running drills at the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between these and standard shotgun shells?
B&P NEXT shells use a proprietary Green Core wad made from 100% biodegradable material instead of conventional plastic. This wad actually improves gas sealing and pattern consistency while eliminating plastic waste at the range and in the field. Performance-wise, they shoot just as predictably as traditional loads at the same velocity.
Are B&P NEXT shells good for both clay shooting and hunting?
Yes. The 1 1/8 oz payload of #7.5 shot at 1200 fps is versatile enough for clay courses like sporting clays and trap, and the shot size works well for upland game like dove, quail, and pheasant. The moderate velocity keeps recoil manageable during long shooting sessions regardless of what you're doing.
Will the Green Core wad leave residue if it lands in water?
No. The Green Core wad is designed to decompose naturally when exposed to bacteria in the environment, and it won't break down into harmful micro-plastics. The wad is also denser than water, so it will sink to the bottom of any waterway where it can degrade safely.
How do these cycle in semi-auto shotguns?
The standard 2.75-inch case design cycles reliably in most modern shotguns, including semi-autos. If you experience any cycling issues, it's usually a shotgun-specific preference rather than a problem with the shells themselves, so testing them in your particular gun is worthwhile.
