Description
Browning's BXD Upland combines plated shot and elevated velocity to deliver reliable, uniform patterns for upland pursuits. This load launches at 1485 fps with nickel-plated lead shot that maintains hardness and roundness throughout the flight. The result is improved velocity retention, sharper energy transfer, and tighter patterns when you need them most in the field.
What Makes Browning BXD Upland Stand Out
The nickel plating process hardens the pellets and prevents deformation on their way downrange. Unlike unplated lead, the plating keeps each pellet's shape consistent, which translates directly to more predictable shot placement and better penetration on game. The 1 3/8 ounce payload with #6 shot size gives you enough pellets for clean kills on medium birds while maintaining the energy needed for ethical harvests.
Designed for Real Upland Conditions
The 2.75 inch hull fits standard 12 gauge shotguns and delivers consistent ballistics from box to box. Each box contains 25 rounds ready to go. The plastic hull is durable for field use, and the entire load is built around dependable performance when you're miles from the truck and a bird flushes unexpectedly.
#6 shot sits in that sweet spot for upland hunting. It offers enough pellet count for reliable patterns while maintaining the penetration needed for pheasant, quail, and similar game birds. The nickel plating gives you an extra edge over standard lead at longer ranges where energy matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between nickel-plated shot and regular lead shot?
Nickel plating hardens the pellets and prevents them from deforming as they travel downrange. This means better patterning, more consistent velocity, and improved penetration on game compared to unplated lead. The plating keeps each pellet round and dense, so you get tighter groups at distance and more reliable kills.
Is #6 shot suitable for pheasant hunting?
Yes, #6 shot is a solid choice for pheasant and other medium upland birds. It carries enough pellet count to create consistent patterns while maintaining adequate penetration. Many experienced upland hunters prefer #6 for pheasant at typical hunting distances because the plated construction gives you good downrange energy.
Will these shells work in my shotgun?
These 2.75 inch shells fit any standard 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75 inch rounds. Your gun will accept 3 inch shells as well, but these loads are designed for the 2.75 inch chamber found in most 12 gauge shotguns. If you're unsure about your shotgun's chamber length, check your owner's manual or the barrel marking.
How does the 1485 fps velocity compare to other upland loads?
At 1485 fps, BXD Upland launches faster than many standard upland loads, which helps maintain velocity and energy at longer distances. This velocity combined with the nickel-plated shot gives you an advantage in pattern consistency and penetration, especially useful when birds are beyond 30 yards.
