When you're shooting clays or targets, you want ammunition that patterns consistently and breaks birds cleanly. The Browning BPT Performance Target 12 gauge shotshell is built for exactly that job. Loaded with 1 1/8 ounces of #8 shot in a standard 2.75" shell, these rounds combine hard-alloy pellets with a smooth hull design for reliable feeding and ejection through your shotgun.
The shot itself is formulated with high antimony content, which means each pellet resists deformation as it travels down the barrel and through the air. That consistency translates to tighter patterns and more reliable target breaks—whether you're working birds at the clay range or practicing your wing shooting. The smooth hull isn't just a cosmetic touch; it reduces friction and drag, contributing to smoother cycling and fewer feed issues across different shotguns.
Available in boxes of 25 rounds, Browning BPT Performance Target ammunition gives you a dependable, no-frills option for serious practice and competition shooting. This is lead shot loaded for the shooter who values pattern density and straightforward reliability over bells and whistles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is #8 shot best used for?
#8 shot is a popular choice for clay target shooting, including trap and skeet, as well as upland bird hunting where tighter pellet patterns are desired.
Will this ammunition work in my 12 gauge shotgun?
Yes, Browning BPT Performance Target 2.75" shells are standard 12 gauge ammunition and will chamber in any 12 gauge shotgun rated for 2.75" shells or longer.
What makes hard shot better for target shooting?
Hard shot pellets maintain their round shape as they travel through the barrel and downrange, producing more consistent patterns and more reliable target breaks than softer shot that deforms on impact or from barrel friction.
How many rounds do I get per box?
Each box contains 25 rounds.
