Product Description
The B&P Valle Steel 20ga 3" 28gm #4 offers a very fast and high-performance steel shot cartridge, specifically designed for waterfowl hunting. This ammunition is ideal for shotguns with a 76mm chamber and must be used with "steel shot" approved firearms, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
The Baschieri & Pellagri (B&P) Valle Steel 20ga is a high-performance, non-toxic steel shot cartridge specifically engineered for the modern 20-gauge waterfowler. Packed into a 3-inch (76mm) magnum hull, this heavy 28gm (1 oz) payload of premium steel shot delivers the dense patterns and knockdown power required for shooting ducks and geese over decoys.
A standout feature of the Valle Steel line is the incorporation of B&P's legendary Gordon System hull. This patented shock-absorbing base acts as a dampener, significantly reducing the sharp felt recoil and muzzle jump typically associated with 3-inch magnum steel loads. This allows for faster, more accurate follow-up shots when birds drop into the spread.
To protect your shotgun's barrel from the hardened steel shot, B&P utilises a specialised, extra-thick plastic cup wad. This wad is pre-slit to ensure a clean, consistent release of the shot column the moment it leaves the muzzle, resulting in devastatingly tight patterns even in freezing, damp conditions.
Loaded with premium B&P powder, these cartridges achieve high velocities, minimising the forward lead required on fast-crossing ducks. As 100% non-toxic steel shot, they are fully compliant with New Zealand Fish & Game regulations for waterfowl hunting over public waterways.
