Description
B&P Upland Game loads are built with upland small game hunting in mind. These shells deliver consistent, predictable performance at typical hunting ranges using nickel-plated lead shot that resists deformation for reliable patterning. The 7/8 ounce payload of #5 shot strikes a practical balance for birds like pheasant, grouse, and similar game when working with modified or tighter chokes.
B&P Upland Game Ammunition Features
The 2.75 inch shell length keeps things manageable for all-day carries while the shot charge provides adequate power without excessive recoil. Number 5 shot delivers enough pellets to maintain pattern density at typical upland ranges without over-powering smaller game. These shells pair well with 20 gauge shotguns that handle standard loads comfortably, making them a solid choice for hunters who spend time walking fields or brush.
Nickel-Plated Lead for Field Performance
Nickel-plated pellets hold their shape better during firing and provide more consistent shot patterns compared to plain lead. This means tighter, more predictable spreads that make your shots count when opportunities present themselves. At around 1225 fps, the velocity keeps recoil reasonable while maintaining effective range for typical upland hunting scenarios.
Each 25-round box of B&P Upland Game shells offers straightforward, dependable ammunition for hunters who want to focus on their shooting rather than worrying whether their ammo will perform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What upland game birds are these B&P 20 gauge shells good for?
The #5 shot size works well for pheasant, grouse, and similar medium-sized upland birds when using modified or tighter chokes. The nickel-plated lead holds together at typical hunting ranges to provide consistent patterns where they matter most.
Are these shells reloadable?
Yes, the hulls can be reloaded if you're into handloading ammunition. Just inspect them for uniformity and any damage before reusing them.
How does the 7/8 ounce load compare to heavier upland loads?
The 7/8 oz payload keeps recoil manageable for extended field time while still delivering adequate pattern density and power for most upland game. Heavier loads add more recoil without necessarily improving results at typical hunting distances, making this a practical middle ground for all-day hunts.
Will these shells work in older 20 gauge shotguns?
The 2.75 inch shell length is standard and works in any 20 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75 inch shells. Always confirm your gun's chamber length before purchasing ammunition.
