Description
The BP Next 12 GA 1 oz 8 Shot Target Load is the #8 shot version of the B and P Next line, built by Baschieri and Pellagri in Italy. It carries 1 ounce of #8 shot in a 2-3/4 inch hull at 1,250 fps and uses the Green Core wad. The smaller shot gives a denser pattern than #7.5, which is a real advantage on close targets. Each box holds 25 rounds.

Where the BP Next 12 GA 1 oz 8 Shot Target Load Shines
#8 shot puts roughly 15 to 20 percent more pellets in a 1 ounce payload than #7.5. That denser pattern is why many shooters choose 8 shot target ammo for skeet, where most targets are broken inside 25 yards, and for close sporting clays presentations such as rabbits, incomers and short crossers.
At 1,250 fps the load moves quickly enough to reduce lead on crossing targets, while the 1 ounce payload keeps recoil light. Over a full round of skeet or a long day of sporting clays, that comfort helps you stay consistent.
The Green Core biodegradable wad is designed to break down rather than remaining on the ground as plastic litter, which many clubs and landowners appreciate.
Tips for Using the BP Next 12 GA 1 oz 8 Shot Target Load
As skeet shooting shells, #8 pairs well with skeet or improved cylinder chokes. On the trap line or longer sporting clays stations, #7.5 retains more energy at distance, so many shooters carry both sizes and switch by station. The #7.5 version of this same Next load is also available.
Italian clay loads from B and P are known for consistent velocity and clean-burning powders, which translates to fewer surprises shot to shot. That said, pattern any new load in your gun at 20 to 30 yards before a match to confirm point of impact and pattern density.
This is a lead shot load. Check your range rules on shot type and always wear eye and ear protection. The 1 ounce, 1,250 fps recipe generally cycles gas semi-autos well; brand new inertia guns may need a short break-in with heavier loads.
