Browning BXD Upland 16 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/8 oz #6 Shot Ammo - Box of 25

The Browning BXD Upland 16 Gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/8 oz #6 Shot ammunition is purpose-built for upland hunters who want serious reach and pattern consistency without stepping up to a 12 gauge. This 16-gauge load pairs nickel-plated shot with a design engineered for high-velocity performance, giving you tighter patterns and better energy retention downrange—the two things that separate clean kills from frustrating misses in the field.

If you grew up shooting 16-gauge (or finally picked one up), you know the appeal: less recoil than a 12, more payload than a 20, and a shotgun that handles like it was built for your hands. The #6 shot size is the sweet spot for pheasant, quail, grouse, and similar upland game—large enough to anchor birds reliably, small enough to pattern densely. BXD's nickel-plated construction resists deformation, which means shot pellets stay rounder as they travel downrange. Rounder pellets fly straighter, stay together longer, and hit harder. That translates to the kind of edge that makes the difference when a rooster is already airborne.

Each box of 25 rounds gives you a reliable, consistent load for a day in the uplands. Whether you're working a fencerow for pheasant or hunting open country where distance matters, BXD Upland ammunition is engineered to perform where it counts—at the end of your barrel when you pull the trigger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is #6 shot best used for?

#6 shot is a proven upland game load, ideal for pheasant, quail, grouse, and woodcock where medium pellet density and adequate knockdown power matter equally.

Why choose nickel-plated shot?

Nickel plating keeps shot pellets rounder as they exit the barrel and travel downrange. Rounder pellets hold their shape, maintain velocity, transfer energy more reliably, and pattern tighter than unplated shot—all advantages in the field.

Is this ammunition compatible with my 16-gauge shotgun?

This is a 2-3/4" shell designed for standard 16-gauge shotguns. Check your shotgun's barrel marking to confirm it accepts 2-3/4" shells before loading.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, a standard upland hunting box size.
