The B&P Valle Steel 12ga shotgun shells are premium Italian waterfowl ammunition, expertly engineered for superior speed and reduced recoil. Designed specifically for hunting fast-flying birds over waterways, these non-toxic cartridges deliver significant downrange energy without the discomfort of excessive felt recoil. Manufactured in Italy by the legendary Baschieri & Pellagri, B&P Valle Steel is a high-velocity waterfowl load crafted to perform flawlessly in cold, damp wetland conditions, making it an ideal choice for New Zealand hunters.

A standout feature of B&P ammunition is its proprietary Gordon System hull. Unlike standard flat plastic base wads, the Gordon System incorporates a specially engineered, shock-absorbing base inside the brass head. This innovative design actively compresses upon firing, effectively dampening the recoil spike before it reaches your shoulder. By significantly reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise, this system allows for quicker target reacquisition for rapid follow-up shots, enhancing your overall shooting experience.

This 3" Magnum load features a highly optimised 33gm payload. By maintaining a slightly lighter payload compared to heavier 36gm or 40gm magnums, B&P achieves a blistering muzzle velocity of 470 m/s (approximately 1540 fps). This exceptionally high speed drastically reduces the amount of forward lead required on fast-moving ducks, improving your chances of a clean shot. These cartridges are supplied in a convenient 250-round slab for extensive hunting sessions.

Housed within a specialised, cold-resistant protective plastic wad, these cartridges prevent scoring on your shotgun barrel and ensure tight, consistent patterns downrange. The Valle Steel is a reliable and high-performance choice for discerning waterfowl hunters seeking ethical and effective ammunition.
