Description
Whether you're working behind a pointer or pushing through brush looking for grouse and quail, these B&P Upland Game shells are built for the job. The 7/8 ounce payload of nickel-plated lead flies downrange at 1225 fps, giving you the reach you need without the harsh recoil that wears you down during a long day afield.
What Makes B&P Upland Game Shells Stand Out
B&P engineered these shells using their Gordon Technology, a system that works through the wad design to reduce felt recoil while keeping patterns tight. The conical shape of the base wad optimizes powder burn, meaning you get consistent ballistics shot after shot. The nickel-plating on the lead pellets helps them stay hard through the barrel, which translates to denser patterns at the distances you actually hunt.
Practical Performance for Real Hunting
The #7.5 shot size is the sweet spot for upland work. It's small enough to give you excellent pattern density on grouse, quail, and doves without tearing up game at reasonable ranges. The 7/8 ounce payload is lighter than some 12 gauge upland loads but packs enough pellets to get the job done. You'll feel the difference when you're carrying these through a full day of hunting, especially if you're not built like a linebacker or dealing with an older gun's recoil sensitivity.
Built for Field Conditions
These shells come in 25-round boxes, so a case gives you 250 rounds to work with. The plastic wad system and nickel-plated shot mean they handle weather and rough handling better than cheaper options. Real field experience shows these pattern well and perform reliably even when conditions aren't perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Gordon Technology in these B&P shells?
Gordon Technology is a wad design system that reduces felt recoil while maintaining pattern performance. The conical shape optimizes powder burn for consistent ballistics, and the wad design itself manages the forces generated during firing, making the shot softer without sacrificing effectiveness.
Is #7.5 shot size suitable for different types of upland game?
Yes, #7.5 is a versatile upland shot size that works well for quail, grouse, doves, and similar game. The pellet size provides good pattern density at typical hunting ranges while being small enough to avoid excessive damage. It's not ideal for larger birds like pheasants at distance, where slightly larger shot would be better.
How does the nickel-plated lead compare to regular lead shot?
Nickel-plating hardens the pellets, which helps them maintain their shape through the barrel and wad. This results in tighter patterns and better penetration compared to soft lead. The coating also makes the pellets more weather-resistant and improves consistency from shot to shot.
Are these shells suitable for clay target practice?
While these are engineered for upland hunting, the #7.5 shot size and consistent patterns make them usable for clay shooting practice. Many hunters use upland loads on clay targets without issues, though dedicated clay target loads might offer slight advantages in pricing or pattern uniformity for high-volume shooting.
