B&P Dove & Quail 12 Gauge, 2 3/4", 1 1/8 oz, 8 Shot Ballistics
2 3/4-inch shell • 1 1/8 oz of #8 lead shot
Product Overview
B&P Dove & Quail is a 1 1/8 oz, 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge upland load made for dove and quail. Smaller #8 pellets fill the hull here, in graphite-coated lead at 1,255 fps. No load compared carries smaller shot, and none carries a heavier charge.
About 461 pellets of #8 make up the charge, as many as any load compared holds. Free recoil is about 25 ft-lbs in a 7.5 lb gun, the same as the Winchester Super-X Heavy Game Load 1 1/8 oz #8, which matches this load on payload, shot size and speed too.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington Game Loads 1 oz #8 runs 35 fps faster on an eighth of an ounce less shot, about 51 pellets behind. The #7.5 Dove & Quail is this same hull with fewer, heavier pellets at the same speed.
- Graphite-coated lead at 5% antimony, hard enough to resist deforming on the way out of the bore
- The charge sits on B&P's Gordon base wad, a conical wad with four concentric rings under a metal head
- Dove and quail are the birds B&P names for it, and #8 is the small-bird end of field shot
- Lead, so a state wildlife area that requires nontoxic shot for upland birds rules it out
- Nothing is claimed for the hull, so a reloader has no word from B&P on whether to keep it
