B&p Ammunition 12B1UP6 Upland Game Classic 12Gauge 2.50″ 1oz 6Shot 25 Per Box/10 Case

Game bird hunters need ammunition that patterns cleanly and delivers consistent energy downrange. B&P's Upland Game Classic loads are built around a 1-ounce payload of #6 shot in a 2.50-inch hull—the standard choice for pheasant, quail, and similar upland species. Whether you're hunting near Redwood City or elsewhere in Northern California, understanding your ammunition options and local regulations matters. Review California firearm laws before your next outing.

Ounce payload and shot size selection

The 1-ounce #6 shot load strikes a balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, making it effective for medium-range upland work. #6 shot breaks down smaller game cleanly while offering enough shot-to-shot consistency for hunters working brush and open fields. At $1.20 per round, this load keeps your per-shot cost reasonable during high-volume hunting days. Understanding ammunition construction, payload weight, and shot sizing helps hunters match their shells to game and hunting conditions. For broader California legal context, PC §32100 exempt revolvers outlines certain exemptions in state law. Browse our gun store.

Frequently asked questions

Is #6 shot suitable for both dove and pheasant hunting?

#6 shot works well for dove but is better suited to pheasant and quail. Dove hunters often prefer smaller shot (#7.5 or #8) for lighter game. The 1-ounce payload in this load provides sufficient pellet count and energy for upland birds at typical hunting ranges.

What is the effective range for these 12-gauge upland loads?

The 2.50-inch shell with 1-ounce #6 shot performs effectively to 35–40 yards under normal conditions, depending on choke and gun. Beyond that distance, pellet energy and pattern density drop significantly. Most upland hunting happens well within this range.
