Detailed Description

BP1251 "Thor" Multi-Metal wad for 12ga (5,500/case)

 

The BP1251 is one of our more distinctive wad designs. A tough honeycomb cushion section and light volume shotcup make the BP1251 particularly well suited for today's modern nontoxic loads and tungsten shot materials. The BP1251 is specifically designed to handle smaller volumes of high-density non-toxic shot.


The BP1251 is classified as one of our Multi-Metal wads. It handles a wide range of pellet materials, including lead, steel, and bismuth. The BP1251 really opens up new avenues for loads with Hevi-Shot, BPX-12, and SpheroTungsten 15.0 and 18.0. The reduced capacity shotcup and angled wad slits of the BP1251 make it a superb wad for the densest types of shot.

Curmudgeon's Loading Tips:

MYLAR: Steel and tungsten pellets are abrasive and can cause barrel damage if the shot protrudes through the wad slit or otherwise comes into direct contact with bore/barrel. Add Mylar Wraps as an insurance policy in order to reduce the chances of barrel damage due to hard, abrasive pellets. Mylar (Mythin) may be trimmed and added to any of the loads for the BP1251.

PT1251 wad may be used for 1-1/8 lead target loads and 1-1/4 ounce lead loads utilizing denser powders. Best applications ares with lead shot (1-1/8 oz. & 1-1/4 oz.) and ITX-10 shot (7/8 oz.). Steel shot is limited in capacity to 11/16 oz of #7 steel. This is, however, a fine non-toxic clay target load and light field load.
