2026 brings important new hunting shotshells for hunters who choose Baschieri & Pellagri. By listening to the hunting community and building on experience gained in the field, B&P introduces three new hunting cartridges designed to deliver high ballistic performance, maximum reliability, and outstanding versatility across different hunting situations.
From wood pigeon hunting to wild boar, and from specialized setups to mixed hunting days where a cartridge must perform in different contexts, the new B&P 2026 hunting lineup is engineered to ensure consistent performance, effectiveness, and confidence in the field.
BIG GAME palla B&P cal.20
The new B&P 20 gauge 20/70 HP slug launches a 28-gram projectile at approximately 460 m/s, delivering high energy, deep penetration, and strong stopping power, key features for wild boar hunting with smoothbore shotguns.
The ribbed hollow slug design also provides excellent accuracy at typical shooting distances, making it an effective choice for hunters using 20 gauge in driven hunts.
Semimagnum 40 Short Range
The new Semimagnum 40 Short Range 12 gauge is designed to produce wide, dense patterns at medium distances thanks to its bio-orientable wad without shot cup.
With its 40-gram payload, it is particularly effective for wood pigeon hunting, both in field shooting and traditional stand hunting, while also proving versatile for other types of upland game hunting.
GP Universal Extra HP
A new addition to the brand’s Traditional line, the GP Universal Extra HP 12 gauge with a 34-gram payload is designed to deliver power, balanced ballistics, and outstanding versatility.
Reliable even in challenging weather conditions, it is particularly suited for premium game such as woodpigeon. Thanks to the Universal wad without shot cup, the cartridge produces wide and generous patterns already at short distances, making it an effective choice for dynamic hunting situations.
NIKE Extra HP
Nike Extra HP features a new-generation propellant, evolved from the legendary Nike powder.
Reaching approximately 430 m/s V1, it belongs to the High Performance category, intended for use in shotguns proofed for High Performance loads, operating at pressures around 830–850 bar.
Its design clearly reflects the needs of wood pigeon hunters.
