B&P Ammunition 12B38H5 Heavy Pheasant 12Gauge 2.75" 1 3/8Oz 5Shot 25Rd Bx

B&P Ammunition's Heavy Pheasant load delivers the payload and pattern density serious upland hunters demand. This 12-gauge 2.75" shotshell is built around a 1 3/8 oz shot charge and size 5 pellets—a classic combination that reaches out to roosters and hens without excessive recoil or overmagnum overkill. If you hunt pheasants in the Midwest or high-plains country where birds get up at moderate distances, this is exactly the kind of straightforward, effective ammunition that keeps your game bag full.

B&P loads are known for consistency and value. The Heavy Pheasant formulation uses lead shot, which means you get predictable ballistics, reliable patterns, and the cost efficiency that makes sense when you're shooting multiple boxes per season. The 2.75" hull and standard 12-gauge bore fit any conventional shotgun, and the 5-shot size is purpose-built for pheasant—large enough for clean, quick kills at 30–50 yards, but not oversized for closer flushes in dense cover. Whether you're breaking in a new gun or stocking up for opening weekend, these shells are dependable workhorses.

Each box contains 25 rounds, so you're getting a practical quantity for a day's hunt or a range session. Load what you need, pattern your gun, and hit the field with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shells work in my 12-gauge shotgun?

Yes. The B&P Heavy Pheasant 2.75" shells are standard 12-gauge and will chamber in any conventional 12-gauge shotgun. Always check your owner's manual for any chamber restrictions before shooting.

What's the difference between 5 shot and other sizes for pheasant?

Size 5 is a popular mid-range pellet for upland game. It offers a good balance—larger than 6 or 7.5 shot for cleaner kills, but smaller than 4 shot, so you get denser patterns at typical pheasant-hunting distances (30–50 yards). Your specific preference may vary based on your gun, shooting style, and local conditions.

How many shells are in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, giving you a practical quantity for a day afield or practice session.

Is this lead or steel shot?

These are lead shot, which is legal for upland game hunting in most states. Always check your local hunting regulations before heading out.
