B&P NEXT 12 Gauge Ammo 2 3/4" 1 1/8 oz #8 Lead Shot - 12B18NX8
The B&P NEXT is a 12 gauge target shotshell loaded with 1 1/8 oz of high-antimony lead #8 shot at 1200 fps. This 2 3/4" shell is built around the Gordon System hull and features B&P's Green Core wad, a pre-cut biodegradable wad developed with academic research institutions as an alternative to traditional plastic wads. Pattern consistency and recoil management are the central design priorities of the NEXT line, making it a practical choice for competitive shooters who put high round counts through their gun. This load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, with bulk case orders shipping free through Target Sports USA.
Features and Specifications:
- 1 1/8 oz #8 Lead Shot: The heavier payload delivers increased pellet density for reliable clay target breaks at typical competition presentation distances.
- 1200 fps Velocity: This velocity level supports consistent pattern performance across trap, skeet, and sporting clays applications.
- Gordon System Hull: B&P's proprietary hull construction is engineered to reduce felt recoil, supporting consistent performance across high round count sessions.
- Green Core Biodegradable Wad: A pre-cut wad constructed from 100% biodegradable material.
- High-Antimony Lead White Shot: Pellets contain elevated antimony content to help maintain pellet shape during firing, contributing to tighter, more uniform patterns.
- Case of 250 Rounds: This 12 gauge bulk ammo ships in cases of 250, packed as 10 boxes of 25 rounds each.
Deep Dive
Overview
This 12 gauge ammo is intended for clay target competition and training across trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The 1 1/8 oz #8 payload is a strong fit for disciplines where pellet density at the target is an advantage, particularly at mid-range presentations where individual pellet energy matters alongside pattern coverage. The Green Core wad makes this a relevant option for ranges that are moving away from traditional plastic wads or for shooters conscious of their environmental footprint at the range. Competitive shooters who want a 12 gauge target load built around newer wad technology without giving up pattern consistency will find the NEXT worth considering.
History and Development
Baschieri & Pellagri has been manufacturing shotshells since 1885, building its identity around precision loading, in-house powder development, and purpose-specific product design. The company develops its own powder formulations, maintaining direct control over burn rate and fouling characteristics across its product lines. The NEXT line represents an extension of that engineering focus, introducing biodegradable wad technology into B&P's established target shotshell catalog. That commitment to component-level development has been central to the B&P brand throughout its history.
Common Questions and FAQs
- Does the biodegradable wad affect pattern performance?
B&P engineered the Green Core wad to match or exceed the ballistic output of traditional plastic wads.
- What clay target disciplines is this load suited for?
The NEXT 1 1/8 oz #8 load is suited for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The heavier payload makes it a practical fit for mid-range presentations where pellet density is an advantage.
- What does the Gordon System hull do?
The Gordon System hull is engineered to absorb recoil at the base of the shell, reducing felt recoil compared to a standard hull. This is a practical advantage for shooters running high round counts in a single session.
- How is this load packaged?
This load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, consisting of 10 boxes of 25 rounds each.

Why It Stands Out:
The B&P NEXT 12 Gauge 1 1/8 oz #8 Shot is a competition target load that introduces biodegradable wad technology into B&P's established target lineup. The Green Core wad, Gordon System hull, and high-antimony shot deliver consistent pattern performance for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. Packaged in cases of 250, it is a practical option for competitive shooters looking for a 12 gauge target load built around the next generation of wad construction.
