The quality control represents for Baschieri & Pellagri a permanent feature before, during and after the production process.
Baschieri & Pellagri has a state of the art test bench with chemists and skilled technicians, who, every day, make several checks on components and shot shells, in order to guarantee the best products.
Stages:
Careful and rigorous selection of suppliers.
Continuous and methodical checks on the raw materials.
Constant checks during the whole production, up to 33 different and independent control operations for each shift.
Functional and performance tests of the finished products.
Qualified and professional assistance towards all stakeholders.
The complex of the quality procedures is developed and revised inside the company with the same compliance of the controls to the product development and its realization stages.
Our company as one of the first retailers on this product in the US have decided to do extensive testing of B&P shot shells before we offered them to the public. Our in house staff has found these shot shells to some of the highest quality ammunition we have even used. We have tested both lead and steel shot and found all shot to be extremely uniform in size varying only one and half thousands on an inch between pellets and found the shot size listed to be spot on industry standards. Lead shot ammunition was found to be a hard lead alloy that resist deforming and produce uniform patterns. The steel shot we have examined was so uniformly round it could be used as ball bearings. We simply never see this type of quality in inexpensive shells and they certainly rival any shells at any price. Another very unusually quality of B&P is their high velocity compared to other companies. Sure they have many shells of standard velocity we are all used to but they also have some lead shot loads at 1.500 fps. Normally the top speed for lead is about 1.350 fps due to the lead deforming. Steel shot is commonly pushed to 1,500 FPS because it's hard enough to resist deforming. This is the first ammunition we have seen pushing lead at 1,500 FPS, that is only possible due to the high quality hard lead shot that B&P uses. So whether you in a tournament , shooting dove or in the duck blind, if you are loaded with B&P you can rest assured you loaded with the best ammunition available.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 28 gauge was introduced in 1903 by Parker Brothers, famous for double-barrel shotguns. With a nominal bore diameter of .550-inch, it is considered a "small gauge" shotgun, and 28 gauge is one of the four officlal events in American skeet. Case length is 2 3/4 inches and the standard charge is just 3/4-ounce of shot. That said, with modern shells the 28 gauge is surprisingly effective on both clay targets and upland birds. Although definitely an "expert's shotgun," the 28 gauge has the advantage of low recoil, can be built into very light shotguns, and is much more effective than the .410. Over the years it was kept alive mostly by serious skeet shooters, but today is often chosen by serious upland bird hunters. Because of pellet count it is most effective with smaller shot sizes (7 1/2, 8, and 9), so is rarely employed by waterfowlers.
