The B&P Competition One .410 bore line brings premium Italian manufacturing to the sub-gauge target shooter. Each 2.5-inch shell contains half an ounce of hardened #8 shot moving at 1210 fps, engineered for the precision and consistency that competitive shooting demands.
What makes these rounds different is the Gordon System technology built into the hull base. Instead of a solid base like standard shotshells, the Gordon design includes a compressible section that absorbs recoil impulse. This cushioning effect spreads the felt recoil over a slightly longer time, which means you stay comfortable and maintain your form through high-volume practice sessions. That advantage compounds when you're running multiple strings on the range.
This isn't just marketing speak. Competitive shooters know that managing recoil is critical when you're trying to reset for the next target quickly and cleanly. The less your shoulder gets hammered, the less your body compensates with flinching or poor form. B&P's research into this technology actually goes back to the 1970s, with mass production beginning in the 1990s. The company has won over 100 World and Olympic medals using these cartridges.
The #8 shot size sits in the sweet spot for skeet—small enough to give you density in the pattern without requiring the tightest choke. These shells use graphite-coated lead with 5% antimony hardening, which keeps your shot pellets round through the barrel and downrange. Round pellets maintain better velocity and energy, which translates into tighter, more forgiving patterns at varying distances. Each box contains 25 rounds, and the consistent components mean velocity and point-of-impact stay predictable shot after shot.
The Gordon System uses a compressible base wad that cushions the recoil impulse when the shell fires. This spreads the felt recoil over a longer time rather than delivering a sharp impact all at once. While the total recoil energy stays the same, the difference in how you experience it helps you stay comfortable during long shooting sessions and maintain better form for follow-up shots.
Yes, #8 shot is well-suited for .410 clay target work. The smaller pellet size creates pattern density that works in the .410's favor, where shot count is naturally limited by the smaller case. You'll get a tighter, more compact pattern compared to larger shot sizes, which is what you want when you're trying to break targets with less payload.
The Gordon System hulls are reloadable, though the cushioning effect of the base wad works best in factory loads. Some shooters do reload them successfully using appropriate wads and data. Keep in mind that the Gordon System function is optimized in the original factory configuration, so reloads may not perform identically to factory ammunition.
B&P Competition One shells are premium target ammunition manufactured in Italy with a long track record in competitive shooting. The combination of the Gordon System, hardened shot, and consistent components makes them reliable for competitions where every round counts. If you're serious about keeping scores tight and maintaining accuracy through extended strings, these shells deliver the consistency you're paying for.
