For upland bird and small game hunters working tight cover, the B&P Upland Game 28 gauge delivers 1 oz of nickel plated #6 shot at 1210 fps. A 28 gauge shotshell is a gauge-specific cartridge defined by bore diameter; it chambers in break-action singles, over-unders, and pumps rated for 2-3/4″ shells. You carry 250 rounds packaged as 10 boxes of 25 — enough for a weekend in the field. Non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable hulls let you cycle empties back to the bench. When a rabbit springs from brush or a woodcock takes flight, the nickel plating hardens each pellet for deeper penetration and tighter patterns at 25–35 yards.
Built for the Box
B&P Upland Game constructs each shell around a 2-3/4″ hull loaded with 1 oz of nickel plated lead shot. The nickel coating reduces pellet deformation during bore passage, yielding rounder shot and denser patterns downrange. At 1210 feet per second, you balance velocity with recoil — important in lightweight sub-gauge guns. The #6 shot size (0.11″ diameter) suits dove, quail, rabbit, and woodcock at typical upland ranges. Boxer priming and brass-base construction support reloading; save your hulls and resize for future batches. Each case weighs 20.78 pounds and ships under DOT hazmat regulations — verify carrier restrictions before ordering.
