If you shoot a 28 gauge for upland birds, you know the appeal: a lightweight gun that swings naturally and produces minimal recoil after a long day afield. B&P's Upland Game load is built to make the most of that platform. These shells pair a full 1 ounce of nickel-plated #7.5 shot at 1210 fps in a standard 2.75-inch hull, giving you respectable pellet density without the harsh recoil of oversized loads that would beat up the small gauge.
The #7.5 shot size sits in a sweet spot for upland hunting. It carries enough energy to cleanly take quail, doves, and grouse at typical hunting ranges while maintaining dense, efficient patterns. The nickel-plated lead keeps pellets hard, which translates to better pattern integrity downrange. These shells come from Baschieri & Pellagri, an Italian ammunition maker with over a century of shotshell manufacturing experience, and their construction reflects that heritage. The advanced wad design and powder selection keep round-to-round performance consistent, so your gun shoots the same way all day.
The 28 gauge is most effective when you stick with loads that respect the gauge's ballistics. Cramming oversized payloads into these narrow bores can compress the shot column and degrade patterns—something that doesn't happen here. The 1 ounce payload in a 2.75 inch hull hits that balance point where you get good pellet count without the downside. This load will pattern well through modified chokes and performs best at the ranges where most upland birds are actually taken, typically 25 to 40 yards with proper setup.
Each box contains 25 individually primed, loaded shells ready for your first hunt or regular practice.
B&P loads are engineered for consistent patterns, and these Upland Game shells benefit from their advanced wad and powder technology. Pattern performance depends on your specific gun and choke, so it's worth running a few shots at a pattern board before the season. The 1 ounce payload in a 2.75-inch hull is ballistically sound for 28 gauge and will typically produce tighter, more uniform patterns than oversized loads.
The #7.5 shot size works on pheasants when shot placement is good and distances are moderate. Many experienced 28 gauge hunters use it successfully on pen-raised and farm birds at shorter ranges. For wild pheasants at longer distances or in late season, some prefer stepping up to #6 or #5 shot in a 20 gauge, which will deliver more consistent energy downrange. Pattern your gun to understand its capabilities with this load.
The 1 ounce payload gives you more pellets than the standard 3/4 ounce 28 gauge loads, which means better pattern density and more margin for error at extended ranges. However, some shooters and sources suggest 3/4 ounce is the optimal load for the narrow 28 bore in terms of pure pattern efficiency. Shoot both if you can to see which patterns better from your gun—that's always the deciding factor.
As long as your gun is in safe working condition and properly chambers 2.75-inch shells, these B&P loads should function fine. Some vintage 28 gauge shotguns were not proofed for modern ammunition, so verify your gun's condition before shooting any ammunition. If you're unsure, have a gunsmith check it out first.
