Description
The BP Heavy Dove and Quail 12 GA 7.5 Shot is the middle option in the Baschieri and Pellagri Heavy Dove and Quail family. It carries 1-1/8 ounces of #7.5 lead in a 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge hull at 1,255 fps, balancing pellet count and pellet energy for a wide range of small upland birds. Each box holds 25 rounds.
Why the BP Heavy Dove and Quail 12 GA 7.5 Shot Is the All-Around Choice
If you could only take one shell to the dove field, #7.5 is a strong candidate. It carries noticeably more pellets than #6 for denser patterns, while retaining more energy downrange than #8. That balance makes 7.5 shot dove loads effective on birds from close decoys out to typical passing distances.
The 1-1/8 ounce payload at 1,255 fps is a familiar and proven combination. It is the same recipe many shooters use on the trap line, so it doubles as practice ammunition on clays before the season opens.
B and P builds this line with the same care that goes into its target shells, and hunters who use a B and P field load often notice the consistent ignition and velocity from box to box.
In the Field With the BP Heavy Dove and Quail 12 GA 7.5 Shot
As 12 gauge quail ammo, #7.5 is ideal for bobwhites and other quail flushing at 15 to 30 yards. For ruffed grouse in heavy cover and woodcock, it offers enough pellet count to find small targets through branches.
Improved cylinder is a good choke for close-flushing quail and grouse, while modified is a solid choice for dove fields where birds pass at 30 to 40 yards. Pattern a few shells before the opener to see where your gun places the densest part of the pattern.
These are lead shells. Some public lands and states restrict lead for dove and upland hunting, so review regulations for the area you plan to hunt. Recoil is moderate, typical of standard field loads.
