Creeper Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Anyone had a opportunity to use the Baschieri & Pellagri (B&P) brand of shells? I was researching their (relatively) new website, in particular looking for defense/LE rounds, and apparently what they "list" as D/LE ammo is not available. Poking around a bit more, I come across the "baby magnum" shells. They have a Italian "0" shot size... 154" diameter, that looks like it might have some promise as a defensive loading. As a point of interest, I see that Remington is using Baschieri & Pellagri to manufacture their European "Premier" target shells. Anyway, considering the price and free shipping, I ordered up a case to give 'em a try. Cheers, C Edited July 26, 2009 by Creeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAL33 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The 20 ga F2 Classic are awesome shells! I have not tried their 12 ga shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 All they have in steel shot appears to be 2.75". I can't do business with someone like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) The 20 ga F2 Classic are awesome shells! I have not tried their 12 ga shells. That's what I've heard from a boatload of people... F2s rock. My idea was that they'd be similar to the old Federal "Personal Defense" shell that was loaded with #2 birdshot at about 1100fps. The B&P may have a bit better penetration if the listed velocity of 1280fps is as advertised. I can't do business with someone like that. I don't know... the pricing and free shipping might change your mind. C Edited July 28, 2009 by Creeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drundel Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I used to get some from Outlaw.com of their 3" #2 steel. Good load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
