Description
B&P's Italian engineering meets practical field performance in the Upland Game line. These 20 gauge shells pack a 7/8 ounce payload of nickel-plated #6 shot that leaves the barrel at 1225 fps, giving you what you need to handle doves, quail, woodcock, rabbits, and similar game. The nickel plating helps the shot maintain consistent shape through the barrel and downrange, which translates to tighter patterns at the distances where upland hunting happens.
What Makes B&P Upland Game Shells Stand Out
You're getting ammunition built by Baschieri & Pellagri, a company that's been making shotshells since 1885 in Bologna, Italy. That kind of history shows up in the details. These shells use B&P's proprietary Gordon System wad technology, which does something clever with the base wad design to dampen recoil while actually improving how the powder burns. The result is a softer shooting round without sacrificing the performance you're after. You'll feel less recoil while the shot string stays consistent from round to round.
20 Gauge, 7/8 oz #6 Shot for Upland Hunting
The 7/8 ounce payload is purpose-built for smaller upland game. Size 6 shot gives you the pellet count and penetration to take birds cleanly when you do your part. This isn't a jack-of-all-trades load trying to do everything, it's dialed in for the job. Twenty-five rounds per box means you've got enough for a solid day in the field without breaking the bank.
These shells pattern well in modern shotguns and put reliable performance downrange. The advanced wad and powder combination B&P uses helps keep shot consistency tight from one box to the next, so you're not chasing zero between range sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is the B&P Upland Game 20 gauge good for?
These shells are designed for small upland game including doves, quail, woodcock, rabbits, squirrels, and similar birds and small mammals. The 7/8 ounce #6 shot payload gives you good pattern density and penetration for these applications. They're not intended for larger game like pheasants or turkeys, which would need heavier payloads.
How does the Gordon System technology affect the shot?
The Gordon System uses a specialized wad design with a conical base that improves powder combustion and absorbs recoil energy. This means you get softer felt recoil while maintaining consistent shot patterns. The design also helps reduce felt pressure, so you can shoot more comfortably during long days in the field without sacrificing performance.
Will these B&P shells work in my shotgun?
These 2.75" shells will work in any 20 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75" or longer shells. Check your shotgun's chamber length on the barrel or consult the manual to confirm. Modern 20 gauge shotguns are typically designed for 2.75" shells, but older guns or specialty shotguns may have different specifications.
Are the B&P Upland Game shells reloadable?
Yes, the hulls can be reloaded if you're into handloading ammunition. The plastic hull and Gordon System case design are durable enough for multiple reloads if you have the equipment and knowledge. However, they're sold as loaded ammunition, so reloading is an additional step if you choose to pursue it.
