The B&P Dual Shock 12ga 3" Magnum is a premium, high-performance cartridge designed specifically for waterfowl hunters who require a non-toxic alternative to steel that actually performs better than lead.

Unlike standard steel shot, "Dual Shock" pellets are made from pure copper with a soft iron core (density ~9g/cm³). This makes them significantly heavier and softer than steel, delivering superior energy retention and mushrooming on impact without damaging your barrel.

This specific load features B&P's "Dual Layer" technology:

1. Top Layer (#5 Shot): Smaller pellets maximise pattern density to ensure a hit on fast-moving birds.

2. Bottom Layer (#3 Shot): Larger, heavier pellets carry momentum downrange for deep penetration and bone-breaking energy.

Key Features

• Copper Shot (Lead-Free): Heavier than steel, offering ballistics very similar to high-grade lead. Safe for use in wetlands.

• Dual Shot Size (#5 + #3): A stacked payload that gives you the best of both worlds: high pattern count and high individual pellet energy.

• High Velocity: Pushes the 36gm payload at a blistering 1,440 fps (440 m/s), reducing the lead required on passing birds.

• Expansion: The copper pellets are designed to flatten slightly on impact (the "Shock" effect), creating larger wound channels than non-deforming steel.

• Magnum Performance: The 3-inch (76mm) case holds a massive 36gm payload of copper, which is voluminous equivalent to a much heavier lead load.
