B&P Ammunition 123B58H6 Heavy Pheasant 12Gauge 3" 1 5/8Oz 6Shot 25Rd Bx

The B&P Ammunition 12 Gauge 3" Heavy Pheasant load is a solid choice for wingshooting hunters who want dependable, hard-hitting shells at a reasonable cost. B&P has built a reputation for manufacturing affordable shotgun ammunition that performs when it matters, and this pheasant load combines 1 5/8 ounces of lead shot with a 6 shot size—a classic upland bird combination that delivers the density and energy needed to cleanly drop roosters at typical hunting distances. Whether you're working fields in the Midwest, the West, or anywhere pheasant season takes you, these shells deliver consistent patterns and knockdown power without the premium price tag of some boutique brands.

Each box contains 25 rounds, making this a practical option for a day afield or for stockpiling before the season kicks off. The 3" magnum hull gives you the payload and velocity you need for confident shots in open country where birds often flush at distance. Lead shot loads remain legal in most upland hunting across the U.S., and B&P's manufacturing standards keep pressures consistent, so your gun's balance and point-of-aim stay predictable shot after shot.

If you're serious about pheasant hunting and tired of overpaying for ammunition that shoots just fine, this load earns its place in your vest. Reliable, straightforward, and built for the job—that's the B&P approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shot size is best for pheasant hunting?

Number 6 shot is a proven, popular choice for pheasant. It offers enough pellets for tight patterns on roosters at typical hunting ranges while delivering sufficient energy per pellet to ensure clean, ethical kills. This B&P load delivers a full 1 5/8 oz. of 6 shot in a 3" shell—plenty of payload for most upland situations.

Can I use 3" shells in any 12 Gauge shotgun?

No. Your shotgun must be chambered for 3" magnum shells to safely fire them. Check your gun's barrel marking or owner's manual to confirm your chamber length before purchasing. Never force a 3" shell into a gun rated for 2 3/4" only.

How many shells come in a box?

Each box contains 25 rounds, which is a standard upland hunting unit. This gives you enough for a solid day afield and lets you stock multiple boxes without excess bulk.

Is lead shot legal for pheasant hunting?

Lead shot is legal for upland game hunting, including pheasant, in most U.S. states and on most public and private lands. However, regulations vary by location and sometimes by season or zone. Always check your state's current hunting regulations before purchasing ammunition.
