If you shoot a 16 gauge and want predictable, hard-hitting performance at the clay range, Browning BPT Performance Target 16 Gauge 2.75" shotshell ammunition delivers what competitive and casual shooters expect: tight patterns, consistent energy, and reliable function. Built with premium hard shot, these rounds are engineered to break targets cleanly without the variability that can plague softer pellet loads. Whether you're working through a practice session or competing in a registered event, the 1 oz payload and 8 shot configuration give you the right balance of pattern density and knockdown for 16 gauge competition or recreational shooting.
The smooth hull design isn't just about aesthetics—it matters in the gun. The sleek profile feeds smoothly through the magazine and ejects reliably, so you spend your focus on the targets, not fumbling with stuck shells or feed issues. Browning's attention to hull consistency also means you'll get uniform ballistics from shot to shot, which translates to more predictable leads and fewer surprises downrange.
Each box contains 25 rounds, the standard shotshell box count, making it easy to plan a session or stock your range bag. If you own a 16 gauge and have been settling for whatever ammunition was available, stepping up to a purpose-built target load like this one will show you what your gun is actually capable of.

These are standard 16 gauge shells in 2.75" length. They will chamber in any 16 gauge shotgun rated for 2.75" ammunition. If your gun is marked for 2.5" only, do not use these shells. Always verify your firearm's chamber specification before loading.
Yes. The Browning BPT line is specifically designed as a target load, with premium hard shot formulated to break clay targets cleanly and deliver tight, predictable patterns—exactly what clay shooters need.
One box contains 25 rounds, the standard shotshell box count.
Premium hard shot resists deformation as it travels down the barrel and through the air, which helps maintain pattern consistency and delivers more reliable energy to the target. Softer shot can deform and scatter, leading to less predictable patterns.
