B&P Competition One 410ga 7.5 Shot

The B&P Competition One .410 bore load is a high-performance, competition-grade target shotshell from the Italian manufacturer B&P (Baschieri & Pellagri). This is one of the most popular and trusted .410 target loads in the world — widely used by serious skeet, sporting clays, and sub-gauge shooters for its exceptional pattern consistency, very low recoil, and clean performance.

Each shell is loaded with ½ oz (14 grams) of premium hard #7.5 lead shot (approximately 190–205 pellets) at a moderate ~1200–1250 fps (most commonly listed around 1220–1250 fps depending on the exact batch/market). The high pellet count in a light payload produces surprisingly dense and forgiving patterns for a .410 — making it very effective on small, fast clay targets despite the small gauge.

Key Features
