Description
The B&P NEXT line represents a thoughtful evolution in clay shooting ammunition. These shells feature B&P's new Green Core wad, engineered from completely biodegradable material that performs right alongside traditional plastic options, regardless of weather or temperature swings. If reducing shotshell litter matters to you without sacrificing performance, this is a real solution.
The 1 ounce #8 shot payload at 1250 fps hits the sweet spot for consistent patterns on clay targets. The pre-cut Green Core design ensures compact, regular shot spreads that matter when you're trying to break targets cleanly and repeatedly. B&P's approach here prioritizes consistency on the clay course, where predictable performance from shell to shell actually translates to more straightforward shooting and faster follow-up opportunities.
B&P NEXT Biodegradable Construction
The Green Core wad breaks down naturally through exposure to bacteria in the environment, with the added benefit that it sinks in water so it decomposes safely at the bottom of waterways rather than littering the shooting area. The material is certified compostable and creates no micro-plastics during decomposition. You're getting legitimate environmental consideration baked into the design without cutting corners on ballistics.
Designed for Consistent Clay Shooting
B&P's manufacturing pedigree comes through here. The company has been innovating shotshell components since 1885, and their shells have been used in Olympic competition. That heritage shows up in attention to detail that matters for target work. Each component is selected to maintain uniform pressure and velocity, which translates to predictable, tight patterns whether conditions are humid or dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Green Core wad and how does it perform?
The Green Core wad is made from 100% biodegradable material developed through B&P's research with academic institutions. It delivers the same ballistic performance as traditional plastic wads, maintaining consistent velocity and tight shot patterns regardless of temperature and humidity changes. The wad decomposes naturally through exposure to bacteria in the environment and sinks in water, making it an environmentally responsible choice without compromising on-target results.
Are these shells suitable for competitive trap and skeet shooting?
Yes. The B&P NEXT shells are designed specifically for clay target disciplines where consistent patterns matter. The 1 oz #8 shot load at 1250 fps provides reliable, predictable performance for target work. B&P's reputation comes from their ammunition being used in Olympic competition, reflecting decades of attention to component consistency and quality control.
How do I know what shot size to choose for my shooting?
Number 8 shot is the standard choice for clay target shooting, offering the optimal balance of pellet count and pattern density for breaking targets consistently. If you're new to clay shooting, start with #8 and stick with it until you've patterned your gun and found what works best. Different chokes and shotguns prefer different loads, so testing at your range with your specific setup is always worthwhile.
Can I reload these shells after shooting them?
Yes, the hulls are reloadable, which is a nice bonus if you reload. Just inspect them for condition and uniformity before starting your reload process, like any quality shotshell hulls.
