B&P NEXT 12 Gauge Ammo 2 3/4" 1 oz #7 1/2 Lead Shot - 12B1NX75
The B&P NEXT is a 12 gauge target shotshell loaded with 1 oz of high-antimony lead #7.5 shot at 1250 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 constructed from 100% biodegradable material as a functional replacement for conventional plastic wads. The #7.5 shot size carries more individual pellet energy than smaller target shot sizes, making this a practical choice for trap and longer sporting clays presentations. This load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, with bulk case orders shipping free through Target Sports USA.
Features and Specifications:
- 1 oz #7.5 Lead Shot: A standard competition payload loaded with #7.5 shot, delivering more individual pellet energy for reliable breaks at longer presentation distances.
- 1250 fps Velocity: This velocity level supports consistent pattern performance across trap and sporting clays applications where #7.5 shot is the preferred choice.
- 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, engineered to match the ballistic output of conventional plastic wads while reducing plastic waste at the range.
- 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, with a particular fit for trap and longer sporting clays presentations. The #7.5 shot size is a common choice among trap shooters where pellet energy at distance is the priority. The Green Core wad makes this a relevant option for ranges moving away from traditional plastic wads or for shooters who want a competition shell with a reduced environmental footprint. Shooters who prefer #7.5 shot for trap and want a 12 gauge target load built around newer wad technology will find the NEXT a well-suited option.
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
- What clay target disciplines is this load best suited for?
The NEXT 1 oz #7.5 load is best suited for trap and longer sporting clays.
- What is the Green Core wad made from?
The Green Core wad is constructed from 100% biodegradable material, developed as a functional replacement for conventional plastic wads used in target shotshells.
- 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 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.
- Will this load cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns?
At 1250 fps with a 1 oz payload, this load falls within the standard cycling range for most 12 gauge competition semi-automatics. Shooters should confirm their platform requirements before competition use.
- How is this load packaged?
This 12 Gauge load is packaged in cases of 250 rounds, consisting of 10 boxes of 25 rounds each.
The 'Round Up'
Perfect Fit for:
Why It Stands Out:
The B&P NEXT 12 Gauge 1 oz #7.5 Shot is a competition target load that pairs biodegradable wad technology with a trap-friendly shot size. The Green Core wad, Gordon System hull, and high-antimony #7.5 shot deliver consistent pattern performance at the distances where this load excels. Packaged in cases of 250, it is a practical option for trap and sporting clays shooters who want a 12 gauge target load built around newer wad construction.
