Description
The BP Privilege Game 12 GA 7.5 Shot is a premium Italian field load built for smaller upland birds. Baschieri and Pellagri, better known as B and P, loads 1-1/5 ounces of #7.5 lead shot into a 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge hull with a biodegradable wad. Each box holds 25 rounds. Distributor listings for this part number specify #7.5 shot, while some box abbreviations shorten it to 7.
Why Choose the BP Privilege Game 12 GA 7.5 Shot for Small Birds
Shot size is the biggest decision in any upland load. The 7.5 lead shot size carries far more pellets per ounce than #6 or #5, which fills the pattern and improves the odds of clean hits on small, fast birds. Combined with a generous 1-1/5 ounce payload, this makes a dense pattern well suited to quail coveys, ruffed grouse in thick cover, woodcock and dove.
B and P has built shotshells in Italy for well over a century and supplies components and loads used by clay competitors worldwide. Italian shotshells from B and P are known for consistent powders and well-engineered wads, and the Privilege Game series brings that same quality to hunting.
A biodegradable wad reduces the plastic left behind in fields and woods, which matters to many landowners and hunters who return to the same ground every season.
Field Performance and Practical Notes
As a 12 gauge field load, this is a bit heavier than the standard 1-1/8 ounce game load. The extra shot helps at the edge of range, but it also adds some recoil. Most shooters find it comfortable in a gas semi-auto or a well-fitted over and under.
Choke choice for small birds is usually on the open side. Improved cylinder or skeet chokes suit close-flushing quail and grouse, while light modified can help on passing dove. Pattern the load at 20 and 30 yards to see how it prints in your barrel.
This is a lead load. Many public wildlife areas require non-toxic shot for upland hunting, and some states restrict lead on specific lands, so check regulations before the season. For pheasants and larger birds, a #5 or #6 load like the #6 version of this line is usually a better choice.

Who Should Buy the BP Privilege Game 12 GA 7.5 Shot
Hunters who spend their season chasing quail, grouse and woodcock will appreciate a premium quail and grouse load with a dense pattern and a cleaner environmental footprint. This is also a good choice for early-season dove when birds are close.
The main downside is price. Imported premium field loads cost more than promotional dove and quail shells from the large domestic brands. If most of your shooting is casual, a less expensive load may do the job; if you want consistency and quality components, this load earns its price.
