Browning Introduces High-End BXD Upland Hunting Ammunition
Hot on the heels of its defensive handgun ammunition launch, Browning is expanding its loadings for the 12 and 20 gauge shotguns. The new BXD loading is designed for upland hunting, launching plated lead shot “at high velocities to achieve premium in-the-field performance.”
The shot is nickel plated which Browning claims “helps keep the shot pellets round for improved velocity retention and energy transfer as well as tighter downrange patterns.”
Loadings include both 3″ and 2&3/4″ options for both calibers:
- 12 ga 3″ 1-5/8 oz #5 at 1350 FPS
- 12 ga 2-3/4″ 1-3/8 oz #5 or #6 at 1485 FPS
- 20 ga 3″ 1-1/4 oz #5 or #6 at 1250 FPS
- 20 ga 2-3/4″ 1 oz #5 at 1300 FPS
Shells are now available through Browning retail outlets.

No 3 1/2"?
And 16 Gauge. Seriously, why doesn't anyone advertise or talk about 16 Gauge when it's right there.
