B&P Upland Game Classic Ammo

[Stephen Hodges]

Has anyone used the newly advertised B&P Upland Game Classic Ammo? This is only offered in 2 1/2" 12 gauge and advertised to be safe to shoot in older guns

[Billy Pollack]

A very good friend of mine has used the B&P Upland Classic shells in his vintage side by sides and he loves the shells. He stated that they are very hard hitting on birds due to the nickel plated shot and soft shooting. I will get a chance to try them out myself this upcoming trip to Wyoming.

I've used the B&P Competition One shells in my vintage guns for clays. Soft shooting and hit hard.

B&P is very good about sharing pressures, but I could not find pressure reported for the Upland Game Classic loads

The 2 3/4" 1 oz. Comp One at 1160 is 6,500 psi

Note this is not the B&P Upland Game which is 2 3/4" 1 1/4 oz. at 1400 fps

Drew, thanks for posting the B&P info. This has me intrigued on what the pressure is in the Classic shells. Also good to hear everyone’s experience w/both the Comp 1 and Classic shells. May have to try them myself.

I love BP shells and have for a long time. I can't find pressure data on line however?

The pressures (in BAR) were on the website but are no longer

Thank you!

What gauges are those stats for Drew?

Presuming by Steve’s original post they might be 12 gauge?

Correct Dean

I was told by Fiocchi that their Shooting Dynamics 20 Gauge 2 3/4" 3/4oz Low Recoil runs at 7500-8000 PSI depending on the lot tested.
