Description:
The BP12 is our original, U.S.-patented 12ga magnum shotcup, known for its versatility and effectiveness with both non-toxic and lead shot field loads. Since its introduction in the mid-1970s by Ballistic Products, the BP12 has been a top choice for shooters seeking high-velocity with dense pattern performance.
Paired with the BPGS, XF12, or X12X gas seals as a two-part system, the BP12 delivers exceptional results. The friction-reducing ribs and exterior wall of the shotcup minimize resistance as it moves through the bore, barrel, and choke. Its tapered interior and side-cushioned walls help to reduce pellet disruption, leading to improved range and tighter shot patterns.
The BP12 and BPGS gas seals can be stacked using our "Pagoda method," which enhances stability and achieves super-high velocity in shotgun loads. Over the past 35 years, this combination has been validated by shooters and industry experts alike, proving to be among the best for field loads. Experience the difference a high-quality hunting wad like the BP12 can make in your shooting.
BP12-TUFF NOTE:
The BP12-Tuff was discontinued due to the Multi-Metal capabilities of the improved BP12 shotcup. The BP12 is molded in our tungsten and steel resistant TPS material, which will protect barrels like the former BP12-Tuff. Therefore, the modern BP12 wad may be used in any BP12-Tuff load data.
TECH NOTE:
When using this wad and loading on a MEC 12ga press, consider purchasing and installing the MEC 16ga Rammer Tube – p/n 130505B-16. This will eliminate the wad sticking as is encountered with the standard 12ga Rammer Tube. Use of the 16ga Rammer Tube with non-toxic shot may cause some jamming in the tube which would require some gentle taps to the side of the tube upon extraction from the hull.
Alternatively, you can seat the wad by hand with the help of our handy Wad Nudges. |
